I used to walk the eight kilometers home every day when I worked in Public Relations and Event Planning and it was my favorite part of the day. It wasn’t that I didn’t enjoy my work; I just love being outdoors in any weather. Weeknights would involve a weather forecast, an intense packing session based on that forecast, followed by a very heavy backpack the next day.

I have been around dogs throughout my adult life and found myself taking groups of friend’s dog’s with me to the park when I would go with my own . I am a dog lover for many reasons; the expressions on their faces and in their tails, their individuality and playfulness. I realized the intensity of a dog’s awareness and loyalty when my mom’s dog JR, a non water loving Jack Russell jumped into the lake to ‘rescue’ me when I fell off of a jet ski.

 Walking dogs allows me to do something I enjoy and I like knowing that I contribute to a very fulfilling part in a dog’s life. I am an athletic social butterfly and I believe that I have chosen a path that is well suited for me and the dogs in my care.
