Like most here, I love animals. Big & small. I really enjoy interacting with them. Adopted my first pet at age 9, unless…do goldfish count?🤔 Anyway, she was a longhair cat named Molasses or Miss Molly. Had the blessing of love & companionship from the smartest, most adorable Pomeranian EVER, who was with us for over 12 years until he went on to chase that big-ball-in-the-sky, in January ‘21🎾💜 In June ‘21, we adopted a young-adult Pointer/Labrador Retriever mix (aka “duck dog”), from MACC. He’s smart, energetic, silly, & so easy to love. We also have a blue & gold Macaw parrot. Eli is a healthy 37 years old. She’s beautiful, talkative, playful, & every bit as sassy as she wants to be. Loves bananas, peanuts, and talking. No secret is safe with her. We also have 2 Leopard Geckos (Ego & Ida), an outdoor koi pond, & an indoor saltwater fish aquarium. Did I mention our chickens?🐓 I have also raised 6 humans. 2 already graduated from college, 3 working & attending college, & our youngest starting 7th grade in August.
