I have two cats Macie & Buddy & a Yellow Lab 85 lbs Ellie. I have owned 2 German Shepherds, 2 Cocker Spaniels, 2 Yellow Labs & 6 cats. I have trained all of my dogs obedience, & manners to my friends & family. My secret is relaxation & love. Our pets can read both of these senses & give us back the same. I have been married 45 years & have shared all of these precious animals with him. I'm also a flower & herb gardener. I also enjoy cooking. And one of my most important jobs is taking care of my 87 year old mother. Our pets have also fulfilled her life. She is the one who taught me their value & love.
