I’ve recently come to the realization that my entire life can probably be explained by my childhood obsession with Doctor Dolittle.  No, not the Eddie Murphy version with the hilarious guinea pig, but the 1967 Rex Harrison-in-a-top-hat-searching-for-the-Great-Pink-Sea-Snail version.  A multitude of animals…a desire for exotic travel…and a dash of a musical….  My mother might have preferred that I fancied a different movie.

A Little About Me

Veterinarian—By day I’m a small animal veterinarian who is going back to school for a masters in international animal welfare, ethics, and law.

Writer—Screenwriter trying her hand at blog writing.

Wanderer—I seem to be afflicted by a bit of a wanderlust and never ending need to travel…be it halfway around the world or just down the road.

Equestrian—My mother introduced me to horses at a young age and I never grew out of the ‘horse crazy’ stage.  I currently ride and train Arabian sport horses.

Dog lover—Cats are alright, but dogs hold a special place in my heart.  Currently owned by two sighthounds.

Broadway enthusiast—Just don’t ask me to sing!

(Mostly) Plant-based foodie—Pescatarian at home…a bit more flexible when I travel.

Ravenclaw—Did I mention I’m a bit of a geek?

Meet the Menagerie

Because I’m sure they’ll find their way into my posts occasionally (okay, probably more than occasionally), I’d like to take a few minutes to introduce you to my current four-legged friends.
