I have had a passion for animals my entire life. I work hard and put every bit of myself into what I do. I get to work with dogs every day! It's hard work. Seeing a timid and anxious dog overcome their fear and decide swimming is fun, watching their joy as they play as well as seeing the faces on their "parents" when their dog has a success is a wonderful thing! Helping seniors with arthritis, dogs pre and post- surgery to build muscle, helping those with hip dysplasia or conditions such as degenerative myelopathy is a passion. I know in some cases all I am doing is to help give them a better quality of life towards the end, but it is rewarding and it help to lessen their pain and sometimes progression. I enjoy and take care of these dogs and their parents as if they were my own family. I wouldn't have it any other way. So I rejoice with them in their successes and I comfort and grieve with them in their losses as well. This is my heart
