I was born and raised in Denver. I have a six year old chocolate lab. He was a therapy dog at Swedish and a blood donor. I place a priority on the dog's safety and comfort. I am my animals best advocate. I recognize that all dogs are different and need different things. Having a dog in my life has been such a rewarding and educational experience. Dogs know how to live life, stay in the present, enjoy the small things, and realize that the fastest way to a human's heart is unconditional love and lots of face kisses. Allowing dogs to express their true love fills my heart with joy and my face with smiles. I try to be the person my dog thinks I am.
