My Story
I fell in love with dogs as a kid! The good , the bad and the ugly!! They were all wonderful to me! I would visit the pounds and volunteer my time after school as a kid!
I always had a pooch in my life! I took a coir pirate job and after 4 years I left and looked for a new career! I ended up with severe chronic Lyme disease which totally disabled me! I got a lab rescue for a gift and he saved my life! :) when I got better I knew without a doubt that I would work with dogs and help rescues! I currently have a dog sitting business and do a lot if volunteer work with rescues! I love it and my dog , Sam, is often part of my dog work!! He befriends many of my clients and soon they are fast friends!

My favorite pastime is
Going to a summer camp as a girl in Maine where I spent two months climbing mountains, canoeing, doing art, archery and making best friends that are still part of my life now!

The best thing anyone's ever done for me is
Given me a dog I named George when I was very ill! It truly saved my life! Dogs will always be a part if my life! I couldn't live without them!

I can't live without
My friends and family which includes my dog, my furry child along with my human one!

The naughtiest thing I've ever done is
Took a week vacation and said I was on business! No one ever found out!!??? ... Till now possibly! It was so needed and worth it!! :)

The funniest thing I've ever done is
Thee a family member who didn't want any birthday party for his 50th a huge surprise party and he LOVED IT!! I had to do a lot of planning but it was so funny when I got him to the restaurant and he realized what was going on! Lots of laughs!!

My favorite place to go is
A lakeside cottage in Maine with family , friends and animals!

I'm completely obsessed with
Animal rights!! I love animals and Im obsessed with helping them in any way I can! They need help!! They are wonderful creatures!!
