I’m Erin and I absolutely love dogs. Seeing their faces and wagging tails just makes my day. Being with dogs is what makes me happiest. I worked at a grooming salon and learned some wonderful tricks of the trade. I know a lot of useful tips for making any kind of transition easy and peaceful for the furry friends.
