I helped my mother operate a kennel at our home in my teenage years. I have many years of experience walking, playing, loving and feeding dogs (many breeds). I'm also experienced in treating common dog illnesses. I most enjoy taking my dogs for walks in the state forest near me. I live on a quiet dead end street in a large raised ranch home on a wooded 1.5 acre lot. I'm a retired special education teacher and emergency medical technician. I have no daytime restrictions or obligations that would inhibit scheduling. My husband is teacher and, he also has been a dog lover since his childhood. I'm a mother to two sons and a daughter who has blessed me with two beautiful grandsons. We currently share our home with a dachshund named "Little". She's our little baby girl!
