About

Hi! I am the keeper of our menagerie and a new military wife. I have been attached to the military a bit longer than I have been a wife but some of the territory  is still new for me.

I have a degree in Anthropology, but followed my heart instead of the books when I met my husband who as we joke ruined everything. I am now on a quest away from the archaeological digs toward a decidedly more furry direction – training dogs.

I am on the board of directors for my local Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC)  and I spend a lot of time volunteering for an organization called Dogs With Wings( DWW), they train service dogs and while I am just about to begin my journey to become a certified dog trainer, I am hopeful that I will find my way onto DWW’s apprenticeship program to be able to train service dogs.

We are about to add another four legged addition to the family in the form of an 8 week old labradoodle puppy (coming October 22) much to the dismay of our cat Pashmena.

I have a love of books, baking and pretty much all things DIY so don’t be surprised when some of that crops up on here. As I wait for my training to begin I am trying to get in as much reading as I can.
