In a few sentences, what is a typical day in your life like?
My day starts with coffee. Always. I start by checking on the dogs who have families out of town. If all the families are at home, I often go for a run with Marc and our dogs. When I’m not walking dogs on my schedule, I check on the B&B at Kennady Plantation. I’m also trying to expand my business to include boarding, grooming, one day I’d like to have a shelter for abandoned dogs. Marc and I sometimes see each other during the day, and most evenings we have dinner together. When not solving mysteries, I enjoy playing games or reading a book with music playing softly.
