My Pets
Top Picture:  Charlie
Joe and I found Charlie for my mom for Christmas 2008 at the humane society.  He's a golden retreiver mix, born 10/08.  His favorite pastime is running laps around the woods behind the house, and eating.  We think he may have been a racehorse in a previous life...
 
Middle Left and Right: Marta
Marta is my little English Sheperd.  She is my main helper for dog walks and pet sitting, which are tasks she takes very seriously. We adopted her as a one year old from the humane society, and was hoping I could voluteer at nursing homes with her.  This was not her calling, as she is too shy, however she can take the most dog fearing human and put them entirely at ease.  Therefore, she was able to help a number of fearful children we know overcome their dog-related anxieties. 
 
Bottom Left: Maggie
Maggie was a Siberian Husky/Samoyed mix.  She passed away in February 2009.   I have never met a dog who loved walking or playing in the snow so much.   Maggie taught me the joy of walking a dog, and inspired me to become a dog walker.  Her enthusiasm was legendary, and daily walks were far from optional. She also enjoyed her volunteer visits at nurnsing homes immensely, and she was quite the local celebrity there as well :)
 
 
Bottom Right: Kola
Kola is my 16 year old Trakehner gelding.  We do French Classical Dressage and love riding through the fields around the farm where he lives.  He has a huge heart, and tons of energy.  He shares Charlie's love of running and food.
