I am a semi-retired grandma who has lived in Prairie Home, on and off, for most of my life. I share my home with 3 dogs, 3 cats and one husband.

Our most recent cat, Rabbit, was an unplanned gift from the cat distribution system. Our newest dog, Sadie, was a hard to place rescue that has taught me a lot about patience.

Everyone else; Stanley and Ollie (dogs), Gypsy and MiloKitty (cats) and Jeff (husband) are old and grumpy, but I love them all.

I have loved, and had an assortment of animals, my entire life. In my retirement I decided to devote more time to helping those that need a full belly and warm bed.

In my spare time I like to spend time with my grandkids, watch NHL hockey and read.
