Ajraffa
New Owner
Hi all!
My name is Alina! My boyfriend Jeff and I are bringing home our new baby this Saturday the 22nd of February. Both of us have had dogs, and I raise tarantulas so we've had some pet experience. Doxies are different though and we are trying to educate ourselves to be the best pet parents possible!
In August 2012 an arsonist set fire to my apartment building and I was forced to jump from the 4th floor (45 feet) to the concrete. I broke both my feet and my back very badly. I'm largely recovered outside of pain, but my left foot will be forever smashed up. I am having my 7th surgery in April. It has been a long and tough road but being handicapped at age 23 has taught me incredible patience, which I hope will allow me to be a better trainer.
My legs are still very weak and I struggle to walk for very long, so I am utilizing our new pup as motivation to get out there and walk the park and strengthen my ankles!
I hope to get to know all of you and will keep you updated on our new little girl!
Alina
