Hi. My name is Bob Becher. My dog Copper is a 13-year-old Jack Russell terrier mix who is losing his hearing. He is a very gently dog who is great with kids--and grown-ups. We have used Paul Huggins for several years. He is not available during this time, and he highly recommended you. I hope you will consider taking care of Copper for us while we drive to South Florida to spend some time with our oldest child and his wife. I would be happy to provide any further information that you might like to have. my cell is: 256-763-2513. Thank you very much. Have a nice day. Bob
