I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I grew up with my parents’ Llasa Alpso and my sweet mixed breed Chow/Lab/German Shepherd (Toby) and have had my own rescue dogs since 2001 (Midge, a small terrier mix, and Lincoln, a small retriever mix.) Midge passed away from old age in 2014, and Lincoln is now enjoying his senior years. Lincoln was a special needs rescue from Blue Dog Rescue—an organization I love. Lincoln had hip surgery before I adopted him, and I helped rehab him. He’s a born swimmer. I live with my husband and four-year-old daughter, who love animals. I work from home as a photographer/videographer/web developer in Pflugerville, Texas. We have a gated 1/3rd acre for dogs to play and walking trails and parks nearby.
