Profile Information
- About Me: It's fun to know our members a little bit.
- I am fortunate enough to work at the best veterinary clinic in the world (Mt. Scott Animal Clinic) where I can combine my love all animals with my career!
In my spare time I enjoy bike riding, going to Portland Timbers games, drinking coffee, and traveling.
- What Kind of Dog(s) Do You Have? What are their name(s)? It's nice to know.
- Six pounds of pure love! Alfie is a yorkie/papillon/maltese mix. He was one of 89 dogs (which grew to 109) rescued from a backyard breeder running an illegal puppy mill in Albany, Oregon. He lived in deplorable conditions with dozens of other dogs in an abandoned single-wide trailer and on dirt in the backyard. I fostered him for Heartland Humane Society in Corvallis for 8 months before the court case ended and I officially adopted him into my home in December 2007. There is more information about the animal abuse he endured where he came from at Alfie's website: AlfieTheDog.com

Alfie's DNA Results Are In!
We ran a Wisdom Panel (www.wisdompanel.com) DNA test on Alfie to see exactly what breeds he is made up of. We guessed that he was Yorkie and Papillon because his features resemble those breeds, but we were surprised when we got his results in! The puppy mill Alfie was rescued from was home to yorkies, papillons, maltese, chihuahuas, and silky terriers. We knew he had to atleast be a mix of those and were anxious to see if the DNA test actually worked (I am somewhat skeptical of these things!). F… Continue

Alfie's First E.R. Visit :(
While lying in bed tonight with Alfie, and his brother Maybe the cat were playing around me in their usual way. Alfie jumps on Maybe, Maybe wraps his arms around Alfie and they wrestle. This time my worst fear was realized. It is something I have seen happen many times working at the vet clinic but I didn't really expect it to happen to Alfie. Maybe clawed Alfie's eye really bad and it was gushing blood. Of course I immediately got dressed and yelled at Art to get ready to go to Northwest Vet Sp… Continue

I tried to get a hold of you the other day but I didn't get a text back from ya!
That's great, I'll drop a bunch off for you, Alfie and your clinic. The cards really look good! I hope you like them.

I have the new postcard with Alfie on the front, he is so adorable. How can I easily get you some? Do you ever go to LexiDog on Macadam? I will be dropping some off there by Monday.
Thanks so much for letting me use Alfie's great image and story!
