I really care about how your dog is doing, looking, and feeling. I read books and websites about dog behavior and health to learn the most I can. I have a dog with colitis and allergies, and know how hard caring for him can be. I think that our dogs are mysterious and wonderful, and that we need to give them the care and attention that they need. A dog is like a child who never grows up or learns to talk, so we must learn how to listen to them. I've always been fascinated by pets; my first job (almost 30 years ago) was with a vet. I learned so much, and saw how important a dog could be to a person or family.
