About the caregiver

Hi my name is jeff and I just retired to Portland Oregon in 2019 living here with my wife Roberta, my dog Midnight and my cat Pepper. I was a US public health service pharmacist working as the chief of pharmacy on the navajo reservation in Pinon AZ. I have been working for the Indian Health Service for the last 23 years. over the years we adopted 2 dogs or should I say they adopted us. Our Sammie girl went everywhere with us. She was known as the mayor of Chinle and she knew more people than I did. She was a fence hopper so when I went to work she would find a friend in the neighborhood to visit with. Sammy lived to be 17 years old. today I have another Rez dog adopted in Pinon. His name is midnight and he is a 6 year old lab/pit bull mix. The sweetest dog. Midnight and I love our dog walks and getting to see all the other dog walkers in the South East Portland neighborhood. The neighborhood seems so alive seeing people walking the streets most likely with their dogs. Meeting new dogs is such a pleasure and walking the dogs gives me good exercise and makes my spirit happy.
