I have always been surrounded by animals, and have a special love for pets, whether it dogs, cats, rabbits or fish! I currently do not have any pets, but have cared for two sweet German Shepards while I taught English as a Second Language in Dublin, Ireland. My mom has a Greyhound, Pete, who is twelve-years-old. To get my pupper fix out, I visit him as often as I can. I live in an apartment in Minneapolis, with a court-yard beside the complex. There is a nearby park a few blocks away. The unit itself has two stories, with four bedrooms on the top floor, and a large kitchen, bathroom, balcony, and living room on the first floor. I have two other roommates who adore animals, and there is an unoccupied bedroom and bathroom if an animal likes their space. If desired, I allow animals to sleep on my bed because I find them adorable, however, I prefer to maintain the habits of the owner for consistency and routine purposes. When I was in high school, I ran a neighborhood dog walking business, and frequently dog and house-sat for family, friends and neighbors. I am extremely active, and love working out, being outdoors, and venturing into various parts of Minnesota. A typical weekday consists of work, running or walking outside (bar negative temperatures), and studying.
