About: I have been around animals all my life growing up on a farm. My mom was known for always taking strays in so we had an abundance of dogs roaming. We had multiple dogs of all different breeds from big dogs to little. I have two little boys of my own and they definitely keep me on my toes. From broken bones to running around the park. I definitely know my way around to giving the best care any baby needs. I have gained knowledge over the years of how to give the best possible care each and every dog needs. I am a stay at home mom. I am home around 99% of the time. Me and my sweet baby love to do our walks and we enjoy being outside. We definitely don’t mind being some couch potatoes.
