Joined in July 2024

I used to work in business communications but have been retired for several years. My first dog was Mikey, back when I was a young girl. I adored him. The next didn't come along until I was married, with two young children. Since then, we've always had at least one, but mostly two dogs at a time. My current is Cokie, a Beagle Jack Russell mix, and I do doggie daycare for a sweet golden doodle named Thomas. Both are friendly--one likes to play, the other likes to watch. They will be kept in the house on request at the time of booking.

A large, open 1.25 acre fenced in yard with multiple small hills that is bordered on the west side by a public walking trail (with 6 foot fence) and on the north side by Rice Creek (with 5 foot fence).

During the winter months, deer and foxes pass just outside of the fenced in yard, while in warmer months the creek entices additional wildlife as well as the occasional canoeist or kayak. Agility equipment pictured are available during the warmer months and are not available in the winter. There's abundant street parking as we are located at a dead-end. Please do not park in the driveway. Enter the yard using the gate located to the left of the garage.
