We have know Ken and Jane Duerksen for a number of years. We have seen them with their dogs throughout those years and have seen they are caring and devoted individuals. Jane has taught some of our children piano lessons. Ken was my husband's chiropractor for years. We would feel comfortable having them in our home while we are away. We would also feel comfortable having them care for our pets.
