Bio
Yes, I really do have a pig. And dogs. And cats. And snakes. Not to mention the various tanks of reptiles, amphibians, and rodents inhabiting my home. So, as you can imagine, mornings in our house are not the stereotypical peaceful, quiet time with a cup of coffee and the day’s newspaper. The moment I set foot downstairs, I’m greeted by the hungry squeals of my Vietnamese Pot Belly Pig, Melody, who is delighted to see someone awake to feed her. After she eats, she’ll harass our two Great Danes until they get off her favorite couch. Then it is time to feed the dogs; two very hungry 150lb Great Danes. Finally, I’ll get to sit down with a cup of coffee. But it is not long until one of our two rescue kittens are on their way to try and steal the milk. Oh, and don’t let me forget my three teenage kids. They still to this day cannot get themselves breakfast, even if it is a bowl of cereal. After breakfast, the house becomes a merry chase of pig vs. dog vs. cat vs. snake, all living under one roof. And by one roof, I mean the common suburban home, not a farm.
My kids keep telling me that we should have a Reality TV show like the ones on Bravo or TLC. The reason I have rejected this idea is that I DO NOT want to end up like Honey BooBoo and her family who are a laughing stock, or John and Kate Plus 8, who ended up in a horrible divorce. Then there’s the Duggers of the show 19 Kids and Counting. I might be tempted to add animals just to keep the show going. I’d rather keep the illusion that we are a normal middle class American family, living in suburbia. So I decided to write a book. Only since I don't have any connections in the publishing business, I was encouraged to write a blog instead. I could tell you endless stories that have gone on since we adopted our pig that would have you falling off your chair in laughter. But we will get to all of those in due time. So try to be a little patient with me. I have to start at the beginning, although that is really a matter of opinion.
