My name is Ly, I am a single 43 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 am also an Administrator here.
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, , playing games, chatting with friends and surfing the net. Oh and being a Sims 2 (soon to be Sims 3) addict!!! My real life activities are being the Commander this year for the Veteran's Post (AMVETS) I belong to. I am on my third term as Finance Officer for our AmVets State Department.
I am the Commander for my local AmVets Post and was installed as on June 6, 2009. I made history being the first female Commander of any AmVets Post in the State of Arkansas. I was also named State AmVet of the Year for 2008-2009.
I used to rescue, foster and rehome pigs in my area that are in need. Due to space constraints I can no longer rescue/foster like I did in the past.
Hobbies I enjoy are playing computer games (especially the Sims 3), playing games on my Xbox 360, reading, playing with my animals and spending time with family and friends. 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 2 sows who live in a 2x3 C&C cage. They are Chatty and CoCo, I once had a large herd of 7 sows but over the last couple of years most have crossed the rainbow bridge. I miss them all dearly.
VoodooJoint aka VJ has one of my grandpiggies, her name is Baby Elly Lil' Ly MEGABEAST. I also have 2 ratties named 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. My newest edition to the family is a kitten named Bella. I also have a 10 year old cat named Sassy.
I have 3 children. My oldest son is 24, my youngest son is 18 and my daughter is 14. My youngest son just graduated High School and plans on attending nursing school in the fall.
I have experience in accidental pregnancies and deliveries and with young newborn pups. I also know quite a lot about the nutritional aspects of Diet and Nutrition in
cavies as I have been researching this topic for nearly 4 years.
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.
