Hello! My name is Ralph. I am a Medic in the Army Reserves and a Online Nursing Student currently. I have an adorable mini dachshund named Hazel who i love more than anything! I don't think I've ever met a dog who doesn't love me. My day consists of taking care of my pup, watching Doggo videos on Facebook, and studying. I have tons of free time until September at which time i will attend school three days a week. I'd love to get as much time with animals until then! During my time in the army i was unable to have a dog so i am definitely making up for it now! =] I show dogs the attention and love they deserve, with positive reinforcement and tons of belly rubs. I have owned a dog for 18 out of my 29 years of life, and can offer you a safe, fun and caring atmosphere for your pup when you aren't able to provide it yourself. My origional Dachshund Odie was paralyzed for 6 years. I have no problem with special needs animals and changing diapers if need be.
