I am an animal lover to the core. My dream as a child was to live on a barge (I'm not sure where I got that idea) with tons of animals. I didn't get that barge or all of the animals, but I do have a beautiful family. I am married with two boys who share my affinity for animals. We are all constantly trying to convince my husband to add to our animal family. We currently only have one dog. She is a 2 year old mini goldendoodle, named Cali, who is desperate for playmates. We often watch our family members' pets while they're on vacation, and that is when Cali is in her own little doggy heaven.
