Allie Veterinary Assistant
I went to Laurel Technical Institute for my vet assistant. I’m a proud “new” 20 chicken mom who loves to give her chickens hugs and back scratches. They follow me around like the chickens in the chicken wars videos which is great because they’re like mini TRexes which fills my Jurassic Park heart with happiness.
I have 2 horses at home, Star is a Registered Morgan, Kita is a Morab. I love rescuing horses, 8 out of my total 11 have been rescues. Used to do lots of horse shows and lessons. Now I’m just a Crocs and trail ride kind of gal. We have 5 cats at home. I’m a sucker for black / black and white cats. DR BMOTSCO gave me a tuxedo who is my mom's baby that she loves to play “cat soccer” with, my 3 include a black tortoiseshell and 2 “cow” cats that have been my world since day one at home. My 3 are named after famous people - Tracy Chapman (one of my fav singers), Charlie Chaplin (she has a mustache), and Norma Jean (she has a beauty mark). Activities that keep me entertained and that I enjoy including:
Archery, paddle boarding, Painting, crocheting, knitting, reading my library that has taken me years to build up that I’m very proud of, hiking at the Metroparks around the area. I drove 6 hours round trip to New York in a day once with a dog I owned to go to the “Grand Canyon of this side of the country” - Letchworth State Park. Photographing different trees, flowers, and especially mushrooms while out on these hikes are some of my favs to take pics of. I also do archery. Oftentimes you’ll see my bow and arrows in the garage at home or in my car for when I find a metro park that offers an archery range. I often have bare feet when at home and rarely wear shoes or socks.
Usually, you can find me in the middle of a good prank or joke. If I’m not in the middle of joking around, you might find me at Squire’s Castle!
