I'm a mom to 4 kids who have flown the coup, but they had just about every kind of animal growing up. On the farm we currently have 6 horses, several barn cats, 4 ducks, 9 chickens & my 9 yr old Corgi Laci. My daughter Elly did Rover the last 2 summers & I assisted. I've realized over the years that I enjoy nothing more than spending time with critters. Also my husband worked for a vet throughout high school & was an Animal Science major in college. Throughout my life I've had 5 dogs we got as puppies - a Brittany Spaniel, Yellow Lab, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd & my little Corgi. I'm home full time and am usually out just a few hours a day, mostly mornings. I'm very flexible, & we only take vacations a few weeks a year. We are on about 50 acres surrounded by working farms, with about 10 acres of woods, 10 minutes from downtown Saline. I'd describe my Corgi Laci as very timid until she gets to know both critters & people. I'm very active & enjoy being outside whenever possible. I also have a grown son & married daughter who are quite often around on the weekends & have really enjoyed all the dogs we've cared for over the last two summers.
