I have been a dog owner most of my life. I have a love for all size dogs and other pets! We had the cutest mutt growing up, a spoiled lap dog. :) More recently I've had labs, one as puppy that lived a great life but had passed away from cancers a little over 8 years ago, we did everything we could for her. Soon after that we missed having a four legged friend in the house so we decided to get a rescue. We now have Great, a big ol' spoiled chocolate lab, we have heard for 8 yrs. She went through a lot was beaten and burned by her previous owners. She never got to enjoy playing catch or water play whatever was done to her she will not do these things. She is a big cuddler and loves kids and being around people. If she wasn't so big, she'd go everywhere with me! I have also done dog sitting/pet sitting for friends and family in the past.
