About Me
I live on the coast of Maine. I have a son, 22, who is a computer genius! I also have a daughter, 20, who is passionate about being on the water on boats as much as possible. Her goal is to be a captain.
I spent most of my adulthood raising my kids. In fact, just 2 years ago I started working full time for the first time ever. I'm an Employment Specialist for a non-profit mental health agency. My job is to help people with disabilities (of any sort) find jobs. It's a very busy job full of variables and unexpected challenges. While I spend much of my time on the computer and phone in my office, I could just as easily helping a client at their dish washing job at a local restaurant.
I spend my weekends walking my dear dog, Tori. I also work on my house and in the yard. There's not much time to do much else!
About Tori: I found Tori's picture on PetFinder.org. I wasn't really looking for a dog, but once I saw her picture, I was in love. Reluctantly I called the humane agency where she was and asked if she was still available. I thought it was a long shot because surely someone would have gotten her already. No, she was available. Three days later I drove 100 miles to get my dear girl, though, at the time, I knew nothing about her.
When they brought Tori into the visitors room she was only interested in catching bugs/flies on the windows. I learned that a good Samaritan had brought her to the shelter in July. She was on the brink of death weighing only 35# and had very little fur due to a flea infestation. There was absolutely no history on her. For 2.5 months the techs nurtured her to health. She grew a new coat and gained 20#. When I saw her she was still very thin and her fur hadn't fully grown in.
I've had her for 4.5 years now. She weighs 67#, sheds twice a year, had a wonderful personality and clearly appreciates having a loving home.
