Having all pets that were either rescued or adopted from another home that needed
help, it is gratifying to know that I could make a vital change in the future of
a helpless animal that I don’t necessarily have to take home.

The Loves of My Life |
|
I live with my wiggly Billy dog, two very entertaining cats - Keoke and Scooter
Dude, a beautiful cornsnake named Primus and most high maintenance of all, my sweet
boyfriend Jake.
Passion and Hobbies:
- The great outdoors – Hiking with Billy (and others too), camping, fishing, snowboarding
when we can
- Gardening – Mostly in early spring through early fall. I love the smell of fresh
picked tomatoes and basil!
- Food – I love to experiment and cook different ethnicities of food. But mostly,
I just LOVE to eat!
- Exploring Portland and surrounding areas, including, but not limited to – restaurants,
rivers, parks, the McMenamins, and the many street fairs, farmer’s markets and festivals.
- Tap dancing – an old hobby for my happy feet that I hope to pick back up soon
- Movies – It’s rare that I find a new movie that I really like, and since I choose
not to have cable television, there’s nothing better than cozying up with a blanket,
munchies and catching up on old classic movies.
- Reading – usually can’t fall asleep without reading. Mostly non-fiction, and always
playing catch up on National Geographics.
