My dogs take up a great deal of my interests! I love to learn more about the canine behaviors and training methods. I enjoy learning more about the various venues of training and competing too. I am currently training in obedience, conformation and field as well as instructing obedience classes occassionally.

Non dog related, I love to sing. I sing at weddings and do solos at church as well as singing in the choir. I play the piano and clarinet. I do flower arrangments for friends and family when time permits. I love to give homemake crafty gifts instead of store bought! I enjoy camping and the outdoors (especially if we go somewhere the dogs can come). And last but not least, flower gardening!

I really have no desire to travel outside the United States but would love to visit Colorado, Oregon and Washington State. We are thinking of taking a train from Washington D.C. to the mid west and renting a RV and seeing parts of the west next year if God wills. I would also love to go on an Alaskan Cruise.
