I am a 58 year old retired aerospace engineer. Very responsible. I have lived in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex for over 35 years. My wife Carol and I have had pets all our lives and we just lost two very elderly pets (Sasha 21 and Yellow 18). We have and still care for our neighbors dogs as our neighbors travel a lot internationally (Roxie a Bull Dog and Avery a Loving smart Pit Bull). Since I am retired now I am looking for a past time that will keep me busy and be rewarding at the same time. Being around animals is relaxing for me and if the animal senses that you are comfortable around them they are more likely to be comfortable around you.
