About Me

I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Brian and we have the two most amazing children; Vegan Lynn (4) and Sidney (1 1/2). I'm a vegan. I live the vegan lifestyle for one reason; I love animals...all animals. And I would do anything I could to help them. My whole life I've been told I can't save them all...I disagree and I will NEVER stop trying! I also share my home with 6 dogs; four Pit bulls (Dozer, Tank, Halloween Boy and LuLu), a Greyhound (Lilly) and a Beagle mix (Sara) as well as 3 cats; Kitty, Mama and Isaac. On January 9th we lost Dozer, the greatest dog we've ever knowm, to cancer. He truly was a special dog who changed a lot of minds regarding what a Pit Bull is really like. Anyone who gave him a chance just fell in love with him. We were lucky to have shared that past 7 years with him.Pit Bulls will always have a special place in my heart so I am grateful to be a 2009 Pinups for Pitbulls model (Dozer and I are Mr and Miss July)! Pinups for Pitbulls is a non profit organization, founded by Little Darling and Carla Lou, that raises money for bully friendly rescues/shelters and individual dogs in need. They work to educate the public on the temperment and history of the APBT and are dedicated to the fight against BSL (breed specific legislation). This is a truly amazing organization and words can't even begin to describe how absolutely wonderful they are. I've seen first hand the positive effect they have on these dogs. If you haven't already please check them out @ www.pinupsforpitbulls.com. Trust me you won't be able to help falling in love with them! I know I couldn't!Also, my husband and I own Hope Skateboards. A small skateboard business that started in October 2005. It's been a bumpy ride, but worth every minute! I plan to open an online doggy bakery this year. I also want to create a website detailing individual pets and their battles with cancer. In the meantime I've created a blog dedicated to Dozer who recently lost his battle with hemangiosarcoma. To read more about Dozer and his battle please go to http://caninecancerdatabase.blogspot.com. And if you have a story about canine cancer please send it to me so that we can help others who's pets have been diagnosed with cancer. ..
