I have always loved animals. When I was a little girl I wanted to become a vet and breed horses and dogs. I had a long list of breeds that I really loved, and I would go riding at the local stables whenever I could. Finally my family gave me a puppy.
However, this Rottweiler and German Shepherd mix quickly grew too large for me to handle, and there was an incident that left me scarred and scared of dogs. She was by no means a bad dog, she just didn't know how to play nice with a small child, so she was lovingly rehomed to a family that knew how to handle her. And as for me, my family got me a cat instead.
Taffy - A tribute to my first cat, a siamese named Taffy.
Gabe - After college and having kids and life settled down again, I once again chose a Siamese named Gabe.
Tanji - After years of working on my phobia of dogs, I reached a point where my love overcame my fear. A long search led me to Tanji.
