Date women from Canada / Quebec / Chicoutimi, 48 year old

Date someone special from Chicoutimi, Canada. My friends would describe me as honest, loyal, sincere, sensitive, hard-working and down-to-earth.
My dogs make me smile. I adore them and they are like children to me. My youngest nephews also make me smile and laugh. I don't live near them so I cherish the times when I can visit.
I'm most proud of the values I was raised with, my education, my life experiences and my dogs. :-)
I'm grateful for my family, friends, my dogs, my health and the many choices I have in life.
I'm hoping to meet a man with similar values: one who loves dogs, family, the outdoors, being active and hard work.
My social life is limited due to a busy work life. I also spend time walking my dogs every day, regardless of weather. I have a small circle of friends since I moved to Quebec five years ago. When I do have free time, I enjoy watching movies, reading, running, working out (Taekwondo and boxing), going for dinner and gardening.
Things that make me laugh out loud are clever comedies, my dogs, my nephews and good jokes.
I'm looking for someone who is independent, open-minded, intelligent, funny, in good shape and down-to-earth.
In life, I'm most passionate about my dogs, my work, my family, traveling (I've lived overseas in the past), languages, culture and staying physically fit.
