Hello all --
I am a 20 year old girl from Bakersfield, CA. I have been around animals my entire life, but have admittedly been more of a dog and horse person. After I graduated high school, I was employed as a Veterinary Technician and attended college to major in Animal Science, but after 2 years my interests changed towards law enforcement and now I'm a Sheriff Dispatcher for the local department. My passion is horse racing and my heart belongs in Louisville, Kentucky.. so my goal in life is to save up for a little while longer, then attend Louisville University to major in Equine Marketing and hopefully get a foot in the horse racing business.
Anyway, I moved out of my parents' house a few months ago, and, to my devastation, the new house I'm renting doesn't allow me to have pets over 20 lbs, so the love of my life (a 2 year old Siberian Husky) had to stay with the parents. I work nights, so I'm home all day by myself. Yesterday I was sitting around feeling sorry for myself cause I'm so lonely, and had this brilliant idea to get a kitten so I can have a new best friend.
I'm known for my spur-of-the-moment decisions, and within 2 hours of this brilliant idea I brought home an 8 week old female brown tabby who I have named Belle, after the filly Eight Belles who died after the Kentucky Derby this year (for all of you who follow horse racing, haha).
So far she is doing great and already spoiled. I have one health issue that I'm going to post in another thread, but its not too much of a concern quite yet.
I'll get pictures up asap. Of course my camera broke a couple days ago, right when I needed it most!
I'm excited to be a part of these boards, from what I've seen they are awesome!!
Thanks for reading :-)
