The favorite part of my day is enjoying the outdoors of Palmer Lake with our pups, Sir Michael, and our sassy senior, Bella. I love meeting other wonderful pups and sharing snuggles with them (unless they’re awkward with hugs like Sir Michael is). As a healthcare worker in a hospital, I currently try to get scheduled only on the weekends. So a weekday walk with your pup would be lovely. Safety is my utmost concern and lots of love. As a licensed healthcare worker since 2011, attention to detail, importance of calmness during emergencies and compassion come at ease to me. For 8 wonderful years, we had the soulful love of Lillie, our pittie (Staffordshire Terrier). She had no idea her 80 lbs of love would help us become advocates of the bully breeds. Due to her breed and size, we were always aware that others would not know she was a gentle soul, so we were always respectful of proper and safe meet and greets with other doggos. Because we also have anxiously quirky Bella, the jack russell, we are aware that pups are like people and need to have time to build trust and feel safe. Bringing Sir Michael, our kissing pocket pittie, in to our family has helped us and Bella heal with his block head antics and ease of temperament. My love of animals was something I continuously seeked while also caring for my patients in the hospital setting during the pandemic. My heart would nearly burst when it was dog therapy days for the staff at the hospital.
