Keys to Kirsten’s Heart:
Food: Olives, steak, cheese, veggies, ice cream.
Music: Good ol’ 90’s alternative
Experience: Zip-lining in the rain forest in St. Lucia. I’m terrified of heights so I’m pretty proud for working up the nerve to actually do it.
Animal: Ostriches. Because I, too, have a grumpy resting face.
Pets:
Edgrr Allan Meow: DSH Tabby – Edgrr is my oldest and smartest. We had to get child locks on the cabinets because of him, and he figured those out, too.
Dizzabelle: DSH Tabby – Acquired by guilting my boyfriend (now husband) into getting a second cat. Karma came around because she likes him way better than me.
Gizmo: DSH Tabby – Gizmo was a foster that was expected to pass away due to an illness we couldn’t figure out. My husband and I adopted him so he would have a “real” home before that day came. Fortunately, Dr. Woodward figured out what was wrong with him and now he’s 4!
Daisy: DSH Gray Tabby – Daisy was a foster that was unadoptable due to being born feral and not adapting well. She bonded to Edgrr, so the rescue let us keep her rather than make her a barn cat. She gets better every day and actually comes to us for pets now.
Wilhelmina: DLH Gray – Another foster fail. Our trophy cat. We didn’t need another cat, but LOOK AT HER!
Daphne: Cat/Black and White Party Cow – Technically a foster fail. No one wanted her because she doesn’t like to be held. She’s the life of the party – loves any toy we buy her, tearing through the house at high speeds, begging for pats when you’re trying to sleep, and picking on the boy cats.
