Tell us about your pets.
My Boxer Puppy, Bella, is 8 months old and every Saturday we go to obedience training, where she is learning basic obedience skills, but as time goes on, she will be the learning advanced obedience and she will be the most well behaved Boxer on the block! Bella loves to play in the water- especially if she can get dirty. Bella thinks she is human, and she will even attempt to talk to us in “boxer talk”. Bella prefers to eat Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy and when she has done great with training she demands Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blends!
What is the most exciting thing you are involved in outside of work?
I really enjoy the obedience training with Bella! Seeing her advance is really rewarding!
