Relaxing In The Garden

I enjoy seeing the pups in a relaxing atmosphere either at your own home or in my garden. I have three outdoor kennels, a large fenced yard and indoor crates for the evening sleep or feeding time. In the evenings before bedtime, my regular guests have the run of the house. They enjoy watching TV, playing or are in and out the doggy doors.
My Background
After 48 years of critter related jobs, I am semi retired and working part time at Firehouse Pet Shop. I enjoy it immensely. I have had over 40 years as a Veterinary Technician, Animal Control Officer, trainer and behaviorist and now can begin to enjoy my experience sharing with others. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid.
