[Ly&Pigs]

My name is Ly, I am a single 41 year old woman who lives in North Central Arkansas. I joined Cavy Cages in early December 2004. I was made a moderator in February 2005. I also have some administration privileges.

I am a Veteran having served in both the United States Army and Navy. I was an Occupational Therapy Assistant in the Army and an Information Systems Technician (Computer Geek) in the Navy. I have also been to Medical Assistant School. My goal in life is to become a registered nurse.

My internet activities include being an Admin/Mod here on Cavy Cages, running an online gaming league for 5 years, playing pogo games, chatting with friends and surfing the net. Oh and being a Sims 2 addict!!! My real life activities are being the Adjutant this year for the Veteran's Post (AMVETS) I belong to. I am on my second term as Finance Officer for our AmVets State Department.

I also rescue, foster and rehome pigs in my area that are in need. Hobbies I enjoy are making crocheted rat tunnels, playing computer games (especially the Sims 2), reading, playing with my animals and spending time with family and friends. I have over the last few months, turned into a CSI freak. I also consider myself an animal rights activist.

I am disabled. I have Multiple Sclerosis, severe Osteoporosis and now am borderline diabetic plus I suffer from depression. Every day is a challenge and I take every day as it comes.

I currently have 5 sows who live in 2 C&C cages. They are Chatty, CoCo, (these two live in a 2x3 upstairs condo unit and Moppy, Finna and Oats live in the downstairs unit. I lost my beloved Charity Ball this past Christmas night and lost my beloved Annie Booberry earlier this year. VoodooJoint aka VJ has one of my grandpiggies, her name is Baby Elly Lil' Ly MEGABEAST. I also have 6 ratties. 3 females named Izzy, Gray and Markie and 3 boys named Popeye, Sam and Eddie. My animals are my "other" children and are what keep me going from day to day. I love all animals and have had animals in my life since I was a tiny baby.

I have 3 children. My oldest son is 22, my youngest son is 16 and my daughter is 12. My two youngest live with their dad.

I have experience in accidental pregnancies and deliveries and with young newborn pups. I also know quite a lot about the nutritional aspects of vegetables and fruits as I have been researching this topic for several months.

If there is anything else you all want to know, feel free to send me an email or private message and ask.

I am a member of Guinealynx and the Pigloo by the user name Ly.
