Greetings from Oklahoma. Well I am a 30 year old gal who is a recent college grad with a degree in Retail Merchandising. I live on my own with my house load of fur-kids. I have 3 dogs, 2 cats and 2 rats. I began with 7 rats but tumors, congestive heart failure, liver failure and old age got the best...
