I love to be be around animals and nature, just being in their presence is enough to light up the smile on my face. I have a German Pointer who runs through the fields and forests with me or we take a leisurely stroll by the river. Luckily I am a professional dog groomer so I have met many different types of breeds and like it when I get the chance to spend a little time with them and, as I am trained to a high standard I have skills in dog management, health and first aid. As a good communicator I look forward to seeing other walkers and their pets, having a chat and letting our dogs say hello to each other. It is always a privilege to meet a pet, they somehow make life better. We keep a tortoise and I have looked after various types of pets including budgies, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, fish and cats.
