Keep Reading, Pet People!
No, I'm not an ego-maniac. I swear!
This isn't all about me. I'm simply not that interesting. But my animals are.
But if you keep reading, I'll share much of what I've learned over the years with my dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, birds, hedgehog, and many other pets!
I
have been owned by animals my entire life. From the age of 17, I've been living on my own with my now-husband Geno and our animals.
All but one of my animals are rescues who have been abandoned, left for dead, or rescued from abusive and neglectful situations. And most are special needs pets. There's a self-mutilating Pit Bull named Cooper with severe separation anxiety. There's a sweet and saucy Miniature Pinscher named Kota who has chronic bloat and chronic trigeminal neuritis. Then there's Gus, a little blind Chihuahua who was found on the streets of New York city at the ripe age of six weeks. Charlie the Husky has canine Addison's Disease. J.J. the little black and white Tuxedo cat has a heart condition. And our latest feline family member is Tobin. She was left for dead on Boston's Tobin Bridge. She waited for rescue or for death - whichever came first - for at least four days that we know of. And the list goes on and on and on.
On this page, you'll learn a little about me, my writing, my Pet Pottery company and other random gigs. But you'll learn much more about my animals and the medical conditions that they live with. I'll tell you about the symptoms, diagnostic process and treatment for their varied ailments.
My goal? I hope that other dog owners, cat owners and pet lovers can learn from my experiences and my pets' misfortune.
