Hello all! I joined a while ago but I haven't had a chance to post an into until now.
My name is Lys, I'm from MA and I have a Greyhound, Wally (yeah, not a bulldog, I know), and a pit bull/Akita mix that was given to me by Chris Fraize as a "foster" after him trying to convince me for 3 or 4 months that this was the dog for me. After a week of "fostering" I knew he was the dog for me . . . Chris knew that WAY before I did, dumb of me not to listen.
Either way, I am training Mike Hunt (yes, that's his name) for personal protection, and he's also great when it comes to agility. He's a very low-key dog in the house, but he's fun to work because he is such a challenge but once he gets something he goes all out and has fun doing it.
I have been working in the animal care field for a while, doing everything from kennel help, to managing, to reception, to liaison for a big hospital, to grooming, to other crazy stuff that I'm sure I'm forgetting. I am very interested in nutrition and am getting far more involved in training and I will begin apprenticing for a trainer at some point this month when her new place opens.
So yeah, my life is dogs. I'm happy with it
