I'm 57 and I live in Northern CA. with my hubby and daughter. Been married 35 years and only have the one two legged kid. I am owned by 5 bulldogs-- Junior 8, Roxy 9, and Belle 8, plus my daughter's bulldogs, Teddy 6, and Bentley 3. And usually one foster rescue dog.

I am and have always been a California girl other than the two years we lived in Hawaii. That's were we got our first bulldog, Junior. His AKC name is Tiki Mugs, but his breeder called him Junior because he looks just like his daddy. We loved the name and decided to keep it. He really is "Joonya."

I volunteer for Nor Cal Bulldog Rescue. That job started when I adopted Roxy. I've been doing it for about 6 years. Helping dogs rehabilitate and find forever homes is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Three of my dogs are rescues.

I've been posting on BDW for several years. I can't remember when I first found this board. I always recommend it to new owners.




I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.
