We are a family of 5. My husband, myself, and 2 dogs. My son recently moved, excited to begin his personal journey in life. 

We own a Doberman mix. Mika a wonderful dog that was dropped outside the door of the Temple Animal Shelter with her littler mates the night they were born. All her litter mates had been adopted so she was the last one in the litter that needed a home. We took her home and she fit right in with our family.She is a happy good-natured dog!
Our other dog is a cattle dog mix. Jasper is a fantastic dog. Jasper had boarded with us many times. His owner ask if we would like to keep him permanently. We had recently lost, Athena, our German Shepard Rottweiler Mix to old age. We needed a territorial dog that would guard our lower property day and night but was not agressive to people we invited over. He was Perfect! He takes his job seriously! We couldn't ask for a better dog!
I have shared my home with many full blood and mix breed dogs over the years, a Cocker Spaniel, 2 Poodle/Terrier mixes,2 Chow Chows, 3 Rottweilers, a Cattle Dog, 2 Mastiffs, a St. Bernard, a Rottweiler German Shepherd mix, an Eastern European Shepherd and many German Shepherds.
Our dogs are such an important part of our family I can't imagine being without any of them!!!!

About myself. Well, after more than 25 years as a Medical Lab Tech, I decided to pursue a career that would allow me to spend more time with the best animals on earth, Dogs! I have always enjoyed working with all types of dogs and feel that they deserve compassionate individualized service just the same as we demand for ourselves. So, I attended grooming school and opened a grooming business, "All American Groomer". We opened in 2007 and in 2009 I opened the boarding business too. I love my job!
About my husband. We have been married for over 40 years. His name is Tim, and he is a retired X-ray Tech. He too is an animal lover. He is the one who made my dreams for a boarding facility, built the way a dog would want, become a reality. I told him what I wanted it to look like and he built it. I did help all along the way, but I must say that he is the one who knew how to do the construction. We both work the boarding business now. We closed our grooming business in 2023.and began renting our grooming house to private groomers.
Our son is Jon Watkins. He has always been a busy person. We have so enjoyed raising him. He was a great child and has grown into an incredible man. He absolutely loves cars. He also thinks ALL cars should have manual transmissions. He is on his own now but comes home to visit often.
