I have 2, wonderful and successful, married children that have graced me with 3 adorable grandchildren (are there any other kind). My life has been filled with pets and animals of all kinds. My experience with dogs has been enriched with 2 years working all aspects of a boarding/grooming business, 40+ years raising, loving and training our family's dogs (3 labs, 1 basset, I golden retriever, 2 English setters, 3 American pointers and 2 Dobermans) and caring/loving a number of cats. I was never a fox hunter but spent a large part of my life in a fox hunting family, so I've cared for horses too. Like all animal people, I have taken in just about everything else; including lizards, squirrels and rabbits. As you see, my pet care experience covers a broad range of animals.
