About Me

I'm a nurse for now...working to make ends meet, but my real passion is animals of all sizes types and colors!! (yes, that is a horse of a different color!)I am in school, attending classes at the school that houses 'America's Zoo' (you get extra points if you guess where it is!!)I have visited with all the meerkats in my region...Meerkats are my very favorite animal on God's Green Earth!!Meerkats are social mongooses, that are native to the Northern Cape in South Africa's Kalahari Desert. They live in family groups or mobs of 8 to 40 animals. They are a matriarchal society.The greatest Meerkat that ever lived was named Flower, she passed away over a year and a half ago, but her memory will always live on in the hearts of those of us who knew and love her!!

My Interests

Meerkats, Music, Reading, Science, Health, World Affiars, Cultures, Did I say Meerkats??

Rest In Peace Jake

In Memory of My Friend Jake Meyer, I knew you some years ago... You were a kindhearted, funny, sweet man.  You always had time for your friends. I heard that you've passed.  You've gone away...
