Arnette

KIA ORA and hello, I hope this finds you and your furbabies healthy well. My name is Arnette, (43yr old single female) AND I LOVE DOGS!!! ALL Animals really, but dogs, I feel, are THE most purest of EMPATHS on earth...Jst 1 look and they know what ur feeling, and will do theie best to give u whatever u may need. They are such amazing souls. 

Firstly ill just say, that i work Monday to Friday, so am only avaliable from Friday to Sunday night - Monday morning. I also do not have a vehicle at the moment, so i thought id just put that there to begin with. Hopefully it wont put you off. Alrighty, so, I grew up with dogs (as well as cats and horses) all my life, and I am a lover of all animals. As a child, I grew up with my maternal grandmothers German shepard, Shultz, and my paternal grandmothers 2 Rottweilers, Troy and Cruise , as well as my Dads 2 gundogs, Cujo and Elsie, which were Weimaraners. Ive also had 2 cats in my lifetime which we had when i was a child, pusspuss and maowmaow. They grew old and passed away, but i still have very found memories of them. Im a country girl at heart and have owned, ridden, and cared for my own horses as well. As an adult, I have only owned my own dog once, about 15 years ago, but she was stolen. It totally broke my heart for a long time. And due to personal reasons, I have not owned another dog since. I just make friends with all the other dogs I meet. When i was in ozzy, my best mate was my friends dog Scooby, a black pittyXstaffy. He absolutely saved my soul, and am blessed to have been his best friend. I miss him with all my heart, and looking at our videos, often brings a tear to my eye as all the beautiful memories of our time together comes flooding back. I feel I have a real affinity with all animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. I used to furbabysit 2 Chocolate Labs, Choccy and Chippy, down in Leeston, near Christchurch, and they became best mates too. They were soo much fun!! And such lovable characters. When I moved back home, (Opotiki and Te Kaha) I used to live with 4 American Bulldogs, Red, Cypress, Waikawa and Kowhai, and quickly became part of the pack. Alot of people were scared of them because, admittedly, they do look scary, but I grew very close to them and formed a bond which was absolutely amazing. Even their Dad/owner was amazed at how quickly we all (the dogs and I) became friends so quickly. And so, here I am, looking to share my love for our four-legged whanau members, and hopefully be of assistance to you, their furmama/daddy/parents, and hopefully build more awesome friendships with you and you bubbas. I cannot have pets where I live at the moment as I am boarding with friends and we dont actually have a yard. Also the landlord says no pets, so there's that main factor, lol. I don't have any formal training or anything, but ive read and watched alot of dog behavior and psychology books and videos, which are awesome. I am honest and respectful of the parents and keep to the rules they set out. Thanks so much for reading, and I really hope I get to meet and make a lot of new friends doing this. Thanks so much,

Kindest regards
