I was born in Indiana and spent my childhood and most of my adult life in the Indianapolis area. After graduating High School, I had a great 31 year career at a large company in Indianapolis working in various clerical positions, and was able to take early retirement at the age of 51. I had a wonderful, loving husband name George and shortly after retirement. we moved to Vero Beach, Florida, and traveled and vacationed with our dogs in our motorhome. I continue to live in Vero Beach, but several years after my husband’s death in 2004, I purchased a cottage on Penobscot Bay in Belfast, Maine and this is where my dogs and I spend our summer.

As long a I can remember, I have had a per. My very first pet was a duck that i got for Easter. I named her PL (my initials), my Dad, called her PLAZA because PL was the telephone prefix for the Plaza Exchange… so the stuck… Plaza it was. After PLAZA, it has always been dogs, rescue dogs who have always been a wonderful part of my life. Jake and Peaches my motorhome to teach of the 49 Continental United States and all of the Canadian Provinces, (with my dogs at the time), which was on my “Bucket List”. I travel in my motorhome because my dogs can comfortable go with me. They pretty much have adapted to my lifestyle and there are great travelers- it’s really AMAZING!
