So .. Here’s some more about me
My passions … well … I strive for a balance between my work, my boys, fitness activities, and personal interests.
My family consists of me, my husband, and two Scottish Deerhounds (DaBoyz).
I enjoy the outdoors. My husband, Brian, and I like cycling, hiking, travel, starry skies, good books, the sound of the waves … and more. We do a lot of hiking because deerhounds need a lot of exercise … and they enjoy doing new things.
Two of our Deerhounds, Patryn and his son Xar, worked as Therapy Dog Teams. We visited nursing homes, mental health centers, and participated in Reading 2 Rover Activities.
I am an Animal Welfare Advocate … so …
- When my husband and I were dating … starting to getting serious … I said, “I will always have a dog.” He agreed.
- Both of us are passionate about responsible animal adoption.
The Light in the Window
DaBoyz inspired me to write a book. Through them, I learned the importance of understanding …
What it means to bring animals into your life
The story in this book is what I dreamt one night. I wrote the story the next morning. Brian added graphics and arranged the layout to present it as a children’s’ book for adults.
It is our aim to encourage people to act in a responsible manner when they get a puppy, bring home a kitty, place fish in an aquarium … or adopt any other creature into their life.
Consider What is Important in Your Life Before Adopting a Pet
What is your lifestyle? How you live …. how you want to live … is important to choosing the pet that is right for you and your family.
The Light in the Window has been the foundation for a not-for-profit organization dedicated to education and fundraising for animal welfare causes.
