Pets' Favorite Hiding Place: I once thought my own cat was missing - I searched my apartment up and down only for her to come slinking out from napping behind a slightly open drawer in our dresser wondering where dinner was. I'm not even sure how she fit in there.

If My Pets Could Talk, They Would Say: "Whatever you're doing, there better be treats involved for me."

Fun Fact That Most People Don't Know: I was pretty musically inclinded growing up and was in school band from 4th to 10th grade. I could learn an instrument fairly quickly so I bounced around between instruments depending on what the band needed at the time. Between symphonic, marching and jazz band I played the clarinet, alto clarinet, bass clarinet, alto sax, french horn and bass guitar. Bass clarinet was my favorite but I eventually left band to focus more on sports.
