Hi, Pat! Welcome to PT You will surely stick around, I'm sure, it's very addictiing

My name is Alyssa and I'm 17. I'm in New Jersey too, central Jersey as it were. I have a Pug/Beagle mix named Mikey, 2 Hermit crabs - Shelly and Otto, and 1 Cory named Gary Chubbles. I had a Maltese who died in June 2008 and is still very much missed. I'm a Junior in High school who cannot wait to graduate and plans on majoring in Marine Biology or Enviormental Science, I'm in a special Science program at school as well. I'm a hopeless Sci-fi nerd and proud Trekkie. I also volunteer at a local shelter, which you may have heard of as you are not too far away, but I'd prefer not to specify in a public post - I don't want to give to much away from where I live. I almost forgot to mention I am a Costume Character and Fright fest ghoul at Six Flags GA, I've worked there for the past 2 seasons and will probably be stuck there another 2. This coming one will be my third year

Your pets are adorable, and I really hope you enjoy PT! Hope to see some pics of your pets soon.
