Spunky , warm , humorous and outdoorsy - I was born in Germany ( and have an accent to prove it) taught hi- school for 13 years, raised a son and then bought a ranch in central Oregon where I make a living boarding dogs. I am most comfortable in jeans and overalls, love to laugh and tell stories - and listen to them.. A kind, intelligent, independent , affectionate and authentic partner would make my life complete. But - I don't have much patience for silly games and pretenses anymore . If you like dogs, hiking and good conversation- let's talk!
