Nancy is a stay-at-home webmaster and homemaker who enjoys spending her time in front of the computer or walking her dogs. Life is less stressful these days, as the 9-to-5 scene is a fading memory in these years of semi-retirement. Boomer, an 11-year-old Golden Retriever, enjoys the company of Shadow, a 10-year-old black Lab-Corgi mix. Hubby enjoys the peaceful atmosphere, too, soaking up all the positive vibes from this happy household of rescued dogs and retired wife in Columbus, Ohio. Nancy is delighted to be a member of the Dogspired family, and looks forward to sharing stories of her happy life with Boomer and Shadow.
