I was lucky enough to grow up in a home with loved family pets, dogs, cats, fish, rabbits and horses. Once I brought home 'my' first dog as an adult, a sweet Border Terrier named Sparky, my love for dogs bloomed and became an ambition to learn and spend as much time with dogs as I could.
Shortly after Sparky came home, Bailey and Maddy followed, both Border Terriers from the same lines as Sparky, then a few years later Leo, the little boy (Border terrier) who taught me everything I know about pet health and behavior and got me into a lot of different dog sports, and then Jax my first rescue border collie, and Myst my most recent rescue from BCRO, who was a foster dog, but was just too sweet to let go.
With my interest and love of spending time with my dogs growing I started to dabble in many different dogs sports in my spare time, including Earthdog, Scent detection, Herding, Rally Obedience, Disc, Dock diving and my absolute favorite Agility.
Yet I knew that just spending my spare time with dogs wasn't enough, I wanted more. So I left my career in an office and went back to school to pursue a career in Dog Grooming and soon after opened my Salon in Barrie, Ontario 'Pooch Paradise Dog Grooming'. Business was booming and I was loving everyday at work......yet still wanted more.
And that's how I ended up here, in Tiny township with ambitions of running a full service Pet Resort!
Here are just a few pictures of my family, my inspiration....
