Pet Info

Lilly is a six-year-old poodle who is totally my dog—where I go, she goes. She lies next to me at night and sits next to me while I work, then we have Sebastian (Bash). He was a rescue puppy, the softest chihuahua ever. His story started horribly—he was found on his last leg on a farm outside a breeding farm, with flies and worms eating him, no fur, and holes in his skin. Thank God he is ours—he may not have many teeth left, and the ones he has left stick out his mouth, but he is the nicest dog.

Family first—especially grandkids, scrapbooking, Cricut, thrifting, crafts.

Do you have any hidden/unique talents?

Have you had any funny animal encounters?

Once I was in a drive-through safari and had my window down a bit, waiting to go into the next area. I had my foot on the brake when an ostrich came from behind and pecked my food while I was eating. I freaked out, took my foot off the brake, and almost hit the car in front of me!

On a Sunday morning, you'll find me…

At church.
