I am the former owner, with my wife, of Dogwood Farm Kennels and Bark & Brush dog grooming. Our motto for both businesses was, "Where dogs are family". My wife and I have never had fewer than 2 dogs and we usually have 3. We live on a farm and are surrounded by dogs at all times. We love it. We also have a great dog park nearby if your dogs needs socialization with other dogs. I will care for your dog like one of mine. I am also a retired Nurse Practitioner and am comfortable with dogs that have special needs or require medicine. I will simply be great companion for your dog. Just call on me and you'll see. Thank you. Stuart R
