Born & raised in Michigan, now living in SW Ohio. I currently have 2 rescue dogs - - BJ is now almost 12.5 yrs old and he's been my companion since he was 7 wks old. I also had his brother Turbo until Jan. 2008 when he crossed the Bridge. After 6months, Celine came to live with us, she just turned 8. At one time I had 2 Cockatiels, 3 Finch, a Rabbit and the 2 dogs. I volunteer at a local shelter and am looking forward to making my 3rd trip to Best Friends.
