Hello to Everyone!

Hi! I am the 'Mum' of two precious rescue dogs - Millie (12+ years old female terrier mix) and Fonzie (6 years old male cock-a-tzu = shihtzu/cocker spaniel mix)
Both my dogs were rescued in Ireland where I'm from and we - my husband and I - moved to live in Calgary in early 2013 and brought our furry family with us. My daughter and her partner (now her husband since September 3rd!) were living in Calgary before we came here and they had also brought their two Irish rescue dogs, Stig and Chloe, and have since added a third rescue from California, little chi Tawny.
I worked for almost 30 years as a journalist in a regional newspaper in Ireland but undertook a Veterinary Assistant Diploma prior to moving to Canada and have worked in a veterinary clinic here since shortly after we arrived.
My dogs mean the world to me and I am so excited to have found this page and hope to get to know lots of like-minded people in the near future and to hear their opinions on various aspects of being a dedicated dog parent.
