Television And Dog Training

Closing out that career with George Burns, a horn player that once worked with Tommy Dorsey, a drummer from a hit rock band, a keyboard player that performed at the White House and lines five blocks long to get in to the place and Bill Nye (the now "Science Guy") a consistent patron she slowed the performing way down and began teaching instead. She developed an awesome children's music program in Seattle and enjoyed helping others get into show business, performing and pageants.

With a few ties left to music she started putting the more practical and earthy gifts and talents to use. Along with selling radio and TV advertising spots for Seattle businesses, she constructed an award winning float for the music school and participated in more than 100 Parades and Events getting very involved with the community. Enjoying serving others in 1985, she put together a side business directed towards helping senior citizens who could no longer keep up with basic survival. Within just six months the word spread so fast about her honesty, integrity and work ethic that she was booked solid with five helpers. The licenses this gal has acquired is astounding.

Holding a Cosmetology license since 1968, she later acquired a license in Real Estate and Pest Control. She was doing car work at age 14 and still today handles starters, water pumps, brakes, radiators, belts, engine swapping, and recently blew away the mechanics by doing an intake manifold gasket on the company van. She worked as a journeyman electrician and bid new construction jobs, helped to build nine homes with Habitat For Humanity, and took those talents to the seniors doing skylights, decks, stairs, porches, windows, doors, sinks, disposals, washers & dryers, some cleaning and landscape design. Having ownership in 13 homes plus a commercial building in the middle of a business district in Tacoma and approximately 18 vehicles including Motor Homes helping seniors and some of their friends, came natural.

This is also where the Pet Sitting began. Working with dogs grew from sitting to rescue work and then adding to it two years of an apprenticeship for dog training which she soon learned was what she wanted to retire doing. Studying the industry and watching what worked and what didn't, she held on to what proved to be the fastest, most humane and loving way of teaching dogs what we want from them. Happy, eager, confident but respectful dogs living happily ever after with their owners. She is happy providing a foster home to rescue dogs and preparing them to be adopted out, helping people with tough training issues and running a fun boarding place for those who want their pets in an open home environment.
