I've owned dogs me whole life. For as long as I can remember we have always had one Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog?) or another. I got MY first dog when I was 8 or 9, a Mini Foxy, who unfortunately suffered from quite a few health issues and died from pneumonia at the age of 8. Since then I have moved around a bit and finally settled down long enough to start looking for another companion of my own. Dogs aside, I am currently studying for my Diploma of Visual Arts, and hope to go on to animation. I live with my partner, another avid dog lover, who is studying to be a mechanic.
