When did you start at HAH?
February of 2016
Where are you from:
Originally from Lost Nation, Iowa, but now I reside in Cedar Rapids
Family/Pets:
1 sphynx cat by the name of Sushi
1 Australian shepherd/lab/German shepherd mix by the name of Amos
One educational thing you want pet owners to know:
How about 2?
Please neuter/spay your pet. We have enough unwanted animals in this world; we don’t need more. Plus, there are SO many risks from not having your animals fixed. I.E.
Males- Aggression, inappropriate urination, higher chance of running away, testicular cancer and other prostate related issues, etc.
Females- Mammary cancer, pyometra (infection of the uterus-which untreated is deadly), behavior issues, heat cycles, etc.
This one is a little more personal, if you can’t tell…. Dogs are more like people than you think. You can’t force them to like someone or something. You can always help by training and desensitizing them, but some dogs will never like kids or other dogs, and that is OKAY! YOU as an owner need to know what is best for your dog to keep them and others safe. Just because they may not like children or other animals DOES NOT make them bad dogs.
What’s something about yourself that might surprise others?
3 things…
I’m an avid crocheter, I’ve been doing it since I was 12. I love making things for family and friends.
I’m fearless, besides public speaking. I will do or try anything at least once.
I LOVE all reptiles! If I could have a house full of them, I would. I thank Steve Irwin for this obsession.
