Dogs have been a part of my life ever since I was born. They make my world a happier place and they deserve everything I can give them for being my best friends for so many years. For some people, dogs are just dogs. But for me (and I'm sure all of you on here) dogs are important family members and play essential roles in our families. I will treat your family member as if they are a part of my family. In my home, a typical day with my dogs starts around 630-7 am. We all wake up, have breakfast, then let them out for quick morning potty. We come back in and watch the news on the bed together for about an hour. Then it's time for a walk! The best part of the day! I like to keep them interested and excited, so I switch up my hiking routes frequently. Sometimes we'll take a walk through the woods behind my house, other times we'll drive to some hiking trails where there are a lot of other dogs for them to play with, and other times we'll try just try a new place just for the adventure! From there on it's lunch, nap, another afternoon walk and sitting outside, dinner and more snuggles on the bed! I adjust the walk to the dogs age and abilities. For instance, one of my dogs is 11 years old and starting to slow down. She will walk next to me while I throw the tennis ball for my 2-year-old. This was she doesn't overdue herself and he still gets his energy out! I do have a lot of personal experience with dogs, I have previously worked at a doggy daycare. I learned about all different breeds of dogs, different temperaments, behaviors, and how to maintain a balance of control between me and the dog so we work together as companions instead of me acting like I am in "control" of the dog. I'm an observer of dog behavior and believe in the process of letting the dog show and tell me about who they are and what they like as opposed to me suddenly coming in and changing their routine. Your dog's comfort, care, and happiness are in good hands with me. I'm excited to announce that I am officially a volunteer for the Baypath Humane Society Shelter in Hopkinton! This is where we adopted our beloved Bear who passed away last September. I'm doing this so that other dogs like Bear can go to loving homes that they deserve. For me, dogs aren't just a way to earn money. They are what I care about and volunteering at Baypath is what I enjoy doing in my free time.
