Hello,
If I have misunderstood which thread would be appropriate for my post, please say! I glanced over them all and figured this was the best.
I'm new to the forum and thought I'd just give a little info about myself. I see that this is a fairly personable forum =D.
I'm 23 years old and just as dog-obsessed as I was when I was a little girl. I hope to offer as much advice as I can on this forum and can see there are some experienced people on here who can do the same for me! I am a part time doggy daycare employee/groomer and, at night, an ESL instructor. I volunteer at my local shelter and one outta three of my beloved big boys is a therapy dog who much enjoys his work (as do I). I currently do not have any little guide pups in training, but hope to soon. I have had seven so far and find the work very rewarding, I still keep in touch with one lady who still thanks me profusely for helping raise her canine companion (despite the fact that all I did was love a fluffy Lab to death...gee, hard! =D).
And the most important part...the dogs! I have a 4 year old Boxer named Taz who is my energetic lil babe, an 11 year old English Mastiff named Doc who never fails to melt my heart numerous times a day, and the newest addition, a 6 month old Saint Bernard named Twister who is a little devil (yes,
very unusual considering his breed, but I do assume he'll grow out of it...maybe =D!). Last but not least, there's Sushi, an English Setter whom I am fostering until she gets adopted (wish I could adopt her myself but my boys keep me busy enough).
Well, I just wanted to get that all down (smile). I hope to learn more about all the rest of you on the forum =D.
