My name is Ali, I grew up in Ross, graduated from Bowling Green (ohio, not kentucky), absolutely love chocolate, enjoy playing tennis, and I have a strong love for dogs. It started early... at about 6 years old, just as any normal child who just wants a family dog, but it took me about 8 years to convince my parents that they wanted one as well. I used to clip out newspaper ads of dogs for sale and leave them on my parent's pillows, just as a little reminder in case they changed their minds. I would beg and beg and beg... until one day my family threw me a surprise party, saving the best present for last: A card telling me that I was getting a dog....finally! I went to the Humane Society and picked out our first family dog, Holly, a beautiful mutt. She sadly passed away my senior year in college, it took a long time to get over losing her, but I missed having a dog around so much!
Now age 26, I have my very own pup, Zumaya. He is a black lab, and 2 1/2 years old. I adopted him from the Animal Friends Humane Society up in Hamilton, Ohio. He has adjusted so easily into my life, and I couldn't imagine not having him around.
