I've always loved animals. I grew up with a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian mix named Rolly, a chihuahua named Gizmo, and a bunch of cats. I've had my old man Chaos (an Aussie/dachshund/lab mix) since he was a pup, and he's 13 now. He's my best friend and the light of my life. I also have experience caring for small animals, including gerbils, mice, rats, and guinea pigs. I've boarded and fostered dogs (mostly for SAFE Refuge of Central Texas). I love dogs. All dogs. Every dog. I've fostered six highly-mobile puppies at once, and I worked with a team to try to catch a stray for seven straight hours - if that doesn't convince you that I'm crazy about dogs, then I don't know what will!
