Extended Profile
One of our cats, P.K., is pictured above. We adopted him (or rather, he adopted us) when he showed up as a stray during a bitterly cold winter. Our second cat, Samwise Gamgee, was recently adopted as a stray when P.K. brought him home, and he was obviously in need of much medical attention and rescuing. Our third cat, Griffin, was adopted from the local humane society. In addition, we foster English Setters available for adoption from Another Chance for English Setters. These are wonderful dogs, and if you would like more information about them, check out the ACES website (link above). We also have a Standard Poodle-Yorkshire Terrier mix (!!) adopted from the Lexington (KY) Humane Society 13 years ago. There are many animals out there in need of good homes, including lots of purebreds, so if you are interested in fostering and/or adopting one, please consider an animal welfare group. You can track down any kind you're looking for at www.petfinder.com
WILL make a world of difference for that one animal.

Many of these books reflect my reading taste, but many are just for releasing. My favorite books are well-written and thought-provoking literature, politics and current affairs, mysteries (especially with a psychological or forensic twist), social commentary, books of almost any type about dogs and cats, and of course, books about books and booklovers. Thanks to BookCrossing, however, I have definitely read and enjoyed books that I would never have considered otherwise.
