I am the mother of three daughters (ages 26, 11 & 9). I have been a dog owner since early childhood. I grew up in Anchorage, AK. Relocated to Bellingham to attend college at Western Washington University. I have had breeds ranging from Shih Tzu to Rottweiler. I have had three dogs at one point (two Shih Tzus and a Poodle). I currently have one friendly female six year old cocker spaniel. I enjoy daily walks & spending time outdoors. Walks are in residential sidewalk/trail areas. I have a completely fenced in backyard for fun off leash activities! We spend a lot of time with our dog! She goes most places with us as a & spends little time alone. Dogs are part of the family!
