Who I Am
I have always loved and appreciated the wisdom and beauty of animals, but dogs fill my heart and soul.
I am grateful for my innate understanding of our canine companions, a kinship, that goes beyond what I think can be taught.
Which is not to say that I don’t continue educating myself. I study everything I can to learn about the latest scientific research into canine behavior. My idea of fun is a new book about dogs!
I seek to further my understanding of how their brains work, how they see the world, how they learn, communicate, and show emotion. As there is a lot of new research on how dogs age, both cognitively and physically, one of my specialties is caring for senior dogs, and those in need of hospice care, which is something that was inspired by my own experiences.
My professional and personal philosophy is:
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DOG!
Just ask my very patient and long-suffering husband, who knows that in our house he is third in line behind our three amazing dogs; he would have it no other way!
Ace, our 15-year-old Schnauzer/Yorkie mix, Oliver, our 6-year-old Schnauzer/Terrier mix, and Elkie, our 6-year-old Border Collie mix, come first.
I love watching dogs and learning from everything they do.
I trust dogs. Dogs are not pretentious, they do not lie, and I always trust a dog who is on alert, whether it is a concerned bark or if he or she is smelling something intently...there is always a reason.
