Even though I don't post as much lately I do still pop by from time to time to check out threads... I've been a member here for I can't remember how long now, figured I would join in as well...



Me with my cousin, my new baby niece!!!, and my cousin's two puppies! I mean, seriously, how much cute could you possibly squeeze in to one picture?

I am an RVT working at a small animal clinic near St. Louis, MO. I keep myself VERY busy between a full time job and pet sitting in what little free time I manage to find. I am owned by one Aussie (Jamie), two kitties (Voltron and Espeon), and two Sugar Gliders (Banjo and Kazooie).

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 1/2 years now... as taboo as it is, we met nearly 13 years ago in an AOL chatroom but never met face-to-face until ~3 years ago... and the rest is history. He lived 13 hours away and we dated long-distance for a few months before he had the opportunity to freelance (he is a graphic/web designer for New Balance) and he just packed up and moved up here to be with me. We are even closing on a house in 3 days!!! So lots of excitement happening for us... and possibly a new addition once the dust settles (of the furry or scaly, 4-legged kind!!!).

I'm also into anime/manga... a recent favorite being Bleach... but Gundam Wing has always been a love of mine. I don't consider myself a gamer of sorts either but I do love to play some RPGs; played World of Warcraft for probably close to 6 years before I stopped playing... and of course I play pretty much any Zelda, Mario, and Pokemon game in existence... but my recent addiction is Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

I love, love, love, love Tortoises... I've owned Red Eared Sliders, "Box Turtles", and Russians in the past... Not so much a fan of anything that needs to live in an aquarium, though... loved my Russian but lost him in my divorce (my ex took nearly all of our pets we had...). Looking into possibly adding a Red Foot once the tornado from moving passes by.
