Meet Wanda!
Born in Tennessee and my grandparents were sharecroppers
who moved to the city to better their way of life. PawPaw went to school and became a barber and gave his sons an opportunity
for a good education and granny was a housewife. My dad and mom got married and he joined the Navy so I grew up a Navy
Brat so moved around a lot and learned to make new friends easily.
My parents are now truckdrivers and close to retirement
age and still live in Tennessee. I now live in Texas. But I have always had love for horses and dogs. My
first dog was a boxer when I was a baby and my second dog was a Boston Terrier named Scamper when I was about 8 years old.
She was my best friend for many years. This is probably why Bostons and Boxers have always appealed to me.
I have worked in customer service and in office environments
for many years, currently I am a fulltime rescuer of my favorite breeds Bostons with an occassional boxer thrown into the
mix.
I have a wonderful husband named Gareth who supports
everything I do for the dogs. He has a PhD in Biophysics or something or other (wonder why he fell for a dingbat like
me? LOL ) He is currently a computer programmer looking for a job as the job market is really bad right now. But
he scoops poop, rotates dogs around, helps feed them and anything I need him to do for the dogs is done willingly as he loves
the little ones too even though at heart he is a cat man.
Gareth and I have many of the same interests.
We love Science Fiction movies, comedies and we like to read. Both of us are able to laugh at ourselves and with each
other which seems to be something that
few folks do any more. Life is sometimes a very cruel joke and you had best
learn to laugh about some of it or you will
spend all your days crying and feeling sorry for yourself.
Our motto is Poop happens and usually to us, otherwise,
why would we have so much puppy poop to clean? LOL
Meet Micah!
I got involved in rescue after I adopted a wonderful Boston named
Jerry! That is how I met Wanda and Heidi. I have been working with them ever since. I now have 4 Bostons, 1
Golden Retriever, a Chi, a cat, and a fish. I love watching Nascar and football.
(Webmistress's Note: Micah adopted a senior BT, Jerry, from ABTR. You
wouldn't believe what a stroke of luck that was for Jerry. He had it made!)
Meet Heidi!
I got my start in rescue in 1999. Since that time, I've had the pleasure of meeting and working
with many, many wonderful people. I'm a member of several different BT organizations, and I've worked as a fundraiser
and webmaster for a few of them. It was all that fundraising that prompted me to open a fun little online boutique (http://beandogscafe.com) to raise money for rescue and animal welfare organizations across the US and Canada.
I'm owned by three Boston Terriers (aka the BeanDogs): Ollie, Jazz and Turtle. Jazz
(BARC) my first adopted rescue and Turtle (OBTRS) followed a couple years later.
I'm a proud Texas Aggie who loves hockey, A&M football and dogs of all kinds. Especially
Bully breeds!
Meet Denise!
