Erin has been around pets most of her life. She had a special hamster named Bowie that she doted on. She hung out with the many dogs that came through her life (Erik, Rusty, Boot, BB and Maverick). When she left to live in her own home she took her two rescue cats with her. She now lives with her black English Lab Jaynie. They are devoted to each other. Once when Jaynie got sick, Erin spared no expense until she found out that her dear pet needed thyroid medication. Erin monitors Jaynie's meds and diet to keep her healthy and happy. Now, at the age of 8, Jaynie still has many puppy like qualities. So you as you can see Erin is knowledgeable, caring and conscientious about her per responsibilities.
