About Me

By: Rachael
Name: Kristine
Age: 32
Occupation: Many, including "facility manager" (paying day-job), occassional fashion model, dog chaser/walker/sitter, involuntary dog chew-toy, volunteer, homemaker, alarm clock, dishwasher, coffee maker, warm blanket, clumsy ass and dork extroadinare!
Location: We gave up Philly and bought a house in Jersey.
Passions: Animal rescue, Dogs, Reading, Music, Educational tv and books, Anime, Singing loudly in the car, Dancing when no one's around, Yoga, Getting exercise, Eating right. (I'm a vegetarian and mildly neurotic about totally random things.)
I live in Jersey w/ my wonderfully talented, witty, sweet, adorably-cute, musician husband, Charles... (http://www.myspace.com/lostsignalmusic), about 65 keyboards and our 2 VERY BAD dogs (Sirius & Sofie, bottomless pit bulls), who think they are small, compact lap-dogs, and demonstrate this belief frequently, no matter who, when or what.
(my hubby)
The Donkey Dogs
I also have a 7y/o Miniature Dappled Dachshund named Dixie. She is a stubborn, strong-willed, independent, 10lb dictator. She is far more aggressive than her pit bull counterparts, but she is my baby, and loves her mamma like no one else! Besides, where else can you see a 100lb pit bull run away from a 10lb weenie dog!!
My Dixie-Wiener!!
I volunteer my time to a few organizations. Currently it is for C2CDR (coast to coast dachshund rescue) and It's A ROTT'n'PITy. Please let me know if you're interested in adopting a 10lb land shark or a misunderstood teddy bear!
I love yoga, dancing (occasionally paired with loud singing), jogging and taking long walks with my furry beasts.
adopt your own virtual pet!
for a short time only, a blast from the past: Me & Chris Moore, circa '91 (maybe '92)

My life with dogs...and Bailey’s... and a musician..
