I had my old puppiers Skippy for 20 years. I have experience taking care of my senior dogs and hold them dear. I after his passing I was fortunate to have a handsome cat join me in this adventure and later had a young pup come into my life as well. I can not remember a day in my life that I went without having some fur baby in my life. I also love to cuddle with dogs so if I stay at house i am fine with sleeping with the dog next to me but i also have been with dogs who need to be in cages. I been working in the animal world for over 5 years in the clinic setting. I love watching and taking care of animals. I am an active person and love having dogs join me in my activities like hiking, running, and swimming. I treat animals like you would for a child. I give them all my attention but keep any rules they need to follow strict.
