I have had and been around doggies my entire life. Most of my dogs have been rescued some required more work than others but I look at it this way, I am helping the dog and with respect and love, we will be the best of friends. Most days I work from home as a Technical Trainer teaching computer software remotely. Currently, I am in Big bear lake and am looking to help those who have to leave the mountain for work or vacation but can't always bring their friend with them. I do have a lovable 8-year-old 1/2 Australian Shepherd 1/2 ?. she is gentle, kind, and like to keep her flock close at all times. Your friend will be cared for, loved, and pampered while you are away.
