I've had at least one dog in my life since I was born in 1960, and I cannot imagine my life without one. I have had experience with German Shepherds, Samoyeds, Norwegian Elkhounds, Chihuahua's and a myriad of unknown "mixed-breeds", most all of whom were rescues. I love nothing more than to go to the yard and have a game of catch/fetch, or to just sit and enjoy their company overlooking the Zen butterfly and bird garden while they relax and catch some warm sun rays. We have a large, fenced yard for play, exercise and fun. I am empathetic and kind to man and man's best friend alike. Please consider me as a reliable caretaker who wants to be your pup's new best friend.
