Caring for dogs has been an integral part of my life. It started with providing my brother's dog the love and care it needed when he went away to college and continued through out my childhood as my family adopted dogs. When it was my time to move out of the house, I was caring for five dogs (including my own). Since then I have had the pleasure of caring for my friend's dogs when they went out of town and dropped in on my brother's dogs as well. I truly feel that my home is empty without a dog's presence. I have a lovable cat named Ellington, who is very dog friendly, as long as the dog is friendly as well. My home is in Upper Fells Point, within walking distance of Patterson Park.
