For as long as I can remember, Ashley has always loved and been around animals. Growing up, she has loved and cared for dogs, cats & hamsters of her own. She understands the responsibility associated with owning a pet (i.e. keeping up with their shots, dental & flea treatments, walking them, house training them, crate training, picking up after them, etc.). She's truly loving towards all animals. Even though at present she doesn't have a pet of her own (within the last 3 years or so, her furry best friend, Bruno (he was a chiweenie), passed away and is resting on her mantle), she often dog sits her grandmother's 4 lb. Yorkie, Patches, a/k/a Little Bit or LB whenever she goes out of town. It's nothing during Ashley's evening walks for her to see neighbors walking their dogs and feel the need to stop, talk & pet each one of them along the way. Ashley's bubbly personality and genuine laughter are incredibly infectious and make her stand out from the rest!
