In the beginning, it was a cat. I was Cocoa’s midwife, she labored all night, as I helped her birth 5 kittens, while she sat in my lap the entire time! Then we gained a water turtle, and a golden retriever. Mackenzie was our first fur family member, we have helped raise our shitzu “Baby,” who is now 19 years old. We currently have Athena, Zeus, and Hercules. Titan passed on Feb 11, 2023, he was 15. Our Sons have Jack, a black lab, and Baloo, a Portuguese water dog. We also have a golden doodle as our dog in law. I would say my experience with different breeds has been diverse and impactful. I literally live for these guys, they are a part of my heart and soul, the love they give is so timely, consistent and unconditional. I give baths, trim nails, walk, run, do yoga, explore nature.
