I am 54 years old, divorced and the mother of 3 children, 2 girls (Jami and Renee) (33 and 29 years old), 1 boy (Adam, 26 years old). I have 4 grandkids, 2 boys (Dakota and Jayden) (13 and 3 years old) and 2 girls (Haddie and Suri) (7 years old and 1 month old). My kids and grand kids are my whole life. I love God and my church and I try to be a good loving and giving Christian.

I love my cats, I have done rescues and currently have 9 cats. My daughter has 2 little yorkies and I have learned to love them. I love animals in general and one of my passions is fighting animal cruelty and ensuring to get people to spay and neuter their pets. I enjoy my kids and grandkids and I'm very family oriented. Update: A new addition to the family, my son has a boxer/pit bull mix named Roscoe and he is a sweet gentle BIG pup.

JUST A NOTE: If I join a swap I will always follow through and send it. If you haven't received a swap from me within a reasonable amount of time (I like to give 30 days for anything international) please send me a message before leaving a rating, I would be more than happy to resend you the swap. It is terribly disappointing to not receive something you have been waiting for. 2nd JUST A NOTE: I will always leave a rating. If I haven't rated you drop me a line to ensure I received what you sent and just to remind me. Sometimes I get super busy and just plain forget. If you want a heart from me just follow the swap rules and pay attention to my profile. Take the time to read about who I am as a person and get to know me. I'll probably be able to tell if you didn't. With that said lets start swapping........=0)

SAD UPDATE: MY HEART IS BROKEN! Chico, my baby was struck and killed by a car on Monday and I'm grieving more than I ever thought possible. Maybe because I'm older, I don't know. I was very close to him and I feel the hole in my heart. If I'm a little off my game please be patient and bear with me. I know in time the pain will ease but right now it is unbearable. God Bless you all for your patience and understanding.......

Here are all my furry babies (kitties) ~~ They have all been Spayed or Neutered~~:

Calli - Female, calico in color, approximately 15 years old. I got her when she was about 4 or 5 weeks old.

Tommy T - Male, orange and white in color, approximately 13 years old. The only kitten born to Calli.

Chico - Male, grey and white in color, approximately 3 years old. He was an orphaned kitten that I took in when he was about 3 weeks old. I bottle fed him and he really thinks I'm his momma. RIP July 2010 to April 1, 2013

Boo Boo - Female, tabby in color, approximately 3 years old. She was also an orphaned kitten that I took in when she was about 3 weeks old. I bottle fed her, she is very independant and loves to hunt critters.

Lenny B - Male, black and white in color, approximately 5 years old. He is my fat cat, a real big boy.

Crickey - Male, black and white in color, approximately 5 years old. He likes to hunt and likes bringing me trophys and laying them at my feet. (I never know what I may find when I get up each morning. Lol).

Black Jack - Male, black in color, guessing his age he is approximately 7 years old or maybe a little older. I took him in from a unstable home. He seems to be happy now in his forever home.

Hughie - Male, orange in color, approximately 3 years old, offsping of Black Jack and I rescued him at the same time. He was about 6 months old when he came to his forever home.

Uno - Female, black in color, approximately 3 years old. She was an offspring of Black Jack's that happened before I got him neutered. She is almost feral and has the sweetest nature.

Well I say they are my daughters yorkies and technically they are, But.......they are mine too....Lol.

I have always been used to big outdoor dogs and was never a big fan of what I call little yappy dogs. Well that all changed when first Lukie came into my life. What a funny little guy he is. She got him when he was 6 weeks old and the runt of his litter. He is now 3 yrs. He is very territorial and demanding and yes yappy but I have grown to love him. He can look at me with those big moist brown eyes and it touches my heart so much.

Well a couple years after Lukie, Renee got Luci at about 6 weeks. She was going to be the cute sweet little girly, girl. OMGoodness I have never seen such a wild little dog, she does everything at a dead run and she is a kleptomaniac. Anything she can get in her mouth she is off and out the door with it and it's gone. She has the sweetest nature and when she gives you one of her wet kisses she does it with great passion. She is now over a year old and has found a spot next to Lukie in my heart.

I wanted everyone to know that even though I have a passion for my kitties I love dogs too and especially my daughters 2 little yorkies Lukie and Luci.

We have a new addition to our family. My son decided he wanted a dog. He brought home a boxer/pit bull mix. He is about 4 months old and black and white in color. His paws are huge, which tells me he's going to be a big dog. His name is Roscoe and I have loved him from day one. I need to learn how to add pics to my profile because I'd love to show off all my fur kids. Happy New Year to all.

UPDATE: Roscoe fits right in to our family and has landed warmly in our hearts.!!!!
