Hi! I've had Siberian Huskies since 1974, & have been active in conformation, obedience, dogsledding, breed rescue, & historical research. l'm without Siberians now but I hope to change that. Meanwhile Captain Carrot, my wildly entertaining Finnish Spitz keeps me busy. The other resident critters are 2 cats (Strategem & Tinuviel), 3 Soay sheep (Fenn, Sparkles, & Aud the Deeply Worried), 1 Nigora goat (Arwen), 5 Guinea fowl (Skywise, Snowy, Charm, Piper, & Rocky 2 The Sequel), & 2 ducks (Mojo & Chief Thunder). I also love horses, & lived on Chincoteague Island for 10 years. I've trail ridden all over the place. I've been collecting dog books pretty much all my life, which grew into my business, Best Beloved Books. I specialize in out-of-print dog & horse books & magazines, books on animals in art, & other things that interest me (animals, arts & crafts, costume, history, D&D, Gypsies, Sherlock Holmes...). I'm also an artist (see profile pic of sterling pin). This space is too short! :)
