My Story:

Not much to tell really.. I'm accident prone but have managed to stay out of hospital for two years, though that record was broken on Friday (10/2/12) when I was admitted for a potentially serious condition, thankfully all the tests were clear and I am now fine.

I got my dog Tara from my ex BF, who through lack of training and discipline barked constantly at people on the street.. he was fully prepared to have her PTS, when I defended her, he said if you can do better, you take her.... 5 years on she's passed all the Kennel Club Good dog citizen tests and loves chasing a ball. She's now 7yrs old and is a fab dog.

I started my own dog walking biz last year. I have a disability that stops me from doing all sorts of jobs, and I feel the only way I can work is to be my own boss. It works out well and I have a great bunch of dogs to walk and who all love coming out with me.
