Two years ago I retired and began a whole new life unfamiliar to me. After years in the work force and living by a strict work schedule I found myself with freedom. Freedom to get up when I woke up, shower in the middle of the day, get groceries on a week day and countless luxuries I had never experienced.

The only responsibility I did have was to care for my 13 year old blonde Cocker Spaniel. Normal household chores like meals, laundry and tending to husband were a walk in the park since I had 24/7 to accomplish those tasks. My sweet furry companion was a bit more time consuming since her age had also brought along some health issues.
