(5 &6) I have three ponies and three cats (at home on 10 acres w/Wick building that I call a barn and dh calls a shed - he grew up on a farm in downstate IL and I grew up in Chicago). No dog at the moment, last one was high maintenance and when she went

I'm currently able to enjoy my home, property and pets. I used to work in R&D in the pharmaceutical industry. Have also worked as a vet assistant (small animal) and one summer as stable help at UofI's equine medicine building at the Vet school (when I was attending undergraduate school in Champaign-Urbana, a loooooooong time ago) We both went to school there so if you cut us, dh and I bleed orange and blue.
