As a child, I grew up with chocolate and black labs. There were multiple times when we would breed, so puppies filled my house with love! Right now I have cats and would love the company of your dog since it is not feasible for me to have one of my own right now! I love being outdoors on the island and in the Kitsap area, so beach and forest walks would be a given. I also walk 4-5k daily, so walks would be fun, energizing and lengthy! Also, I am a psychotherapist, so I love conversations about how our animals/dogs are projection aspects of our own personality and the symbolic ways in which they offer us healing. I also love stories on how a name came into being, so chances are, I will want to know the story behind the name of your dog! I'd love to hear from you and meet your dog(s). May we love in the way dogs model loving.
