Intoduction

Hello, my name is Kim.  I am currently living in the beautiful land of Alberta, Canada but I am originally from New Jersey.  My typical pack consists of myself, my common-law husband, a dog and three cats (four if you count our housemate’s cat).  I'll quickly give you an introduction to my pack.



The Dog

Ashrah is a four year old Labrador/Australian Shepard cross.  She’s a wonderful pup and a great companion.  She was adopted from a rescue group called Prarie Animal Rescue Society (PARS) in Alberta who was only able to give me minimal information about her past as they don’t even know what her past is like.  She was with them for nine months before I adopted her.  She has a sweet personality and is being trained to be a therapy dog to visit the nursing homes and hospitals.  Her favorite things consist of cuddles, food, her ball, frisbee, and being with her humans. 


The Cats

Taven is a long haired, black male who just loves people.  He loves his people and is the ever curious cat about dogs.  He came with me into the relationship and he’s also the youngest.  He’s easy going and loves to be petted.  His personality is that of a sweet cat who just wants to be around his humans.  He seems to enjoy following dogs and has never hissed in the time he’s lived with me.  He was adopted in Canada and is a rescue as well. 
Riley

Velcro

Velcro and Riley came with my common-law husband, Justin.  They are littermates and are the offspring of a feral cat.  They were born beneath a shed where a dog killed a few of their siblings.  Luckily, this hasn’t stopped them from loving Ashrah.  Velcro is our black, short haired female who sometimes tries to nurse on Ashrah.  Riley is our grey, short-haired male who enjoys being in the highest spaces that he can find ways up to.  They are both very skittish but they do come for their nightly cuddles and love being brushed when they see me with a brush in my hand.


Misty, our housemate's cat, is long-haired grey female who is a complete lap cat.  She is a sweet little kitty who has a random playful side to her.  While being petted, she will turn onto her back and try to play with your hand.  If you sit down, expect her to be coming up.

I hope you enjoy this blog and you learn lots from it.

Take care!

Kim
