One of my first blogger friends when I started
blogging, Melissa writes about the wonderful and exciting life she shares with
her two beautiful and spirited dogs, Bentley the Basset Hound and Pierre the
Westie. She is also the author of the books The Returns and The
Returns Showstoppers, available on her site and on Amazon.com. I love these
books, they're a pet lovers delight!
Versatile Blogger Award Rules

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
4. Lastly, tell your nominator and readers 7 interesting things about yourself. OK, I'm really not that interesting but here it is. ✅ Done!
✦ I was born and raised on Long Island, New York. I went to college and subsequently lived in New York City, which was a real party all through my 20's and into my 30's!
✦ In college I worked part time as a hair color consultant for Clairol. I helped people who failed to read the directions fix their green, purple, or otherwise ruined hair. Employees got free product so every month I had a different hair color!
✦ I trained my Siberian Husky Icy to be a therapy dog and together we volunteer in our community. I love the children's reading program best, it's so fun and rewarding.
✦ I took a job transfer from New York to Phoenix Arizona in 2006 and lived there for over 9 years. That's where I got both my dogs, Icy and Phoebe. It's the most dog friendly city I've ever been to! I miss it.
✦ I became a certified scuba diver when I was young, but these days I do more snorkeling than diving! I'm not quite as fearless now.
✦ I am completely addicted to chocolate. Whether it's Godiva or Hershey's, I cannot resist!
✦ I love to cook and bake. I covet 2 family recipes that I keep saying I'm going to share but I don't. One is for Carrot Souffle and the other is Apricot Walnut Tarts. Maybe I'll share it one day...... maybe. LOL!
