Born in beautiful British Columbia, I have been raised all my life with animals. Growing up I had budgie-birds, fancy chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, cats and dogs. One of my fondest childhood memories was doing the daily egg hunt in the backyard- those free range chickens could be creative!!! Every one of our animals were a cherished part of the family. In 2023 we said goodbye to our beloved senior Yorkies Alley and Kneesa. They were 17 & 18 yrs respectively. In their later years their needs changed. As such, I’m experienced and happy to accommodate pups with medication and mobility assistance. Just like humans, in old age our seniors require more help! In 2025 we welcomed 2 new editions to our family. Winnie Skullcrusher is a 4 lb bundle of spunk! She has a lot to say and usually establishes the pack leader position straight away. Maizie Dill Pickle is her 5 lb Yorkie best friend. She’s super submissive and loves to give kisses. We also have 2 lovely SPCA rescue bunnies. They live in a spacious rabbitat in the backyard and love to say hello to our pup friends. I had the privilege to volunteer at Kindred Community Farm Sanctuary in 2023. Kindred houses animals that have been discarded or have disabilities. Example- old horses that can’t be ridden. Ducks bred for meat that are obese and can’t walk due to hormones given from the food industry. The job was primarily cleaning but during cleans I was able to learn about the nutrition and environmental needs of species I was unfamiliar with (goats, horses, ducks, turkeys). This beautiful blind turkey Olive was amazing and my experience with her resonates. She loves to be sung to! She came to her food dish based on the sound of the dish clanging to her food stand. She had a great quality of life despite her limitations.
