From dog mom to human mom

We're expecting our 3rd child.  The first 2 have fur covered bodies and walk on 4 legs.  I didn't give birth to them, but I'm thankful for their mother's who did. I've been their mommy since they were babies.  We've been doing this parent thing for years! For example, we've:
  • Spent restless nights trying to kennel train (and failing early with Morzy, only completing the task with her as an adult dog),
  • Cleaned up countless accidents-some potty related and some destruction
  • Dealt with dog versions of temper tantrums, and behavioral issues
  • Faced both emergency (seizures, broken claws, lacerations) and non-emergency health concerns (routine vet visits, vaccinations, teeth cleaning/extractions, spay/neuter)
  • Of course cared for them daily, i.e. feeding routines, potty breaks/training, and of course loved, snuggled and played with them.
  • ...and so much more with these 2. crazy kids
They have given me confidence (over 11 years) in my abilities to mother a human child and that their daddy and I have a good understanding about how to split tasks.  Dog's are much more complicated than anyone gives them credit for and dedicated pet parents don't get enough credit!

I know it won't be easy, and I'm not expecting to be a perfect parent. All I'm just saying is I've got experience as a parent and I look forward to sharing my journey as a parent to both with you all soon!

    My name is Kim. I've grown up in this beautiful place we call Marquette, MI. I have always been a lover of animals and my love for them has only grown stronger with age.  I love all animals from mice to cows, to pigs and frogs.  Of course as dogs are the ones living most closely among us they have become my passion. I have been in the dog business since 2009 with a focus on dog training since 2010 when I completed my career diploma in Dog Obedience Trainer/Instructor from Penn Foster Career School. I worked on building my knowledge and experience for the next 4 years until I sat for my first formal certification in 2014. In building of those credentials I continued with the skills portion in 2015 earning the titel Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge and Skills Assessed (CPDT-KSA)
    My husband Rick and I have owned and operated TacoMo Dog Training since 2010 and are in the process of transitioning to TacoMo Dog Co. as we have officially added grooming as of 2022.
    TacoMo was the recall word for our first 2 dogs Rico aka Taco, and Morzy aka Mo. We have since loved and lost both of them in 2020 and sadly a puppy in 2019. We now are loved by our current crazies Tiramisu aka Misu a Mini American Shepherd born 2019 and Goji and small Australian Shepherd born 2020.
    We also have a daughter born in 2017 who is always keeping us on our toes. Find us on Facebook, Instagram and even Tiktok!
