About me
Hello! My name is Rachel. I am 19 years old and live in Michigan. I love to ride horses, swim, and fish. I have a fiance, his name is Shawn. I am currently attending college for a degree in Elementary Education with a certificate in Special Education. My goal is to be able to teach 1st-3rd grade and one day get certified to give lessons in therapeutic riding.
I own 2 dogs, 3 gerbils, 1 hamster, and 6 fish. Iggy Pup is a Jack Russel x Chihuahua mix and is 5 years old. I guess they are designer dogs now and are known as a Jackchi... I got him as a rescue though as an 8th grade graduation/13th birthday present. Bandit is a Dalmatian x Border Collie mix and is about a year old. She is a very special dog. I got her from an adoption event at the zoo. She is a VERY social dog and needs to be cuddled and hugged, she loves giving kisses, she will put her nose to your lips to get a kiss. She sleeps with her paws wrapped around me and always needs to be touching someone. The adoption lady told us that she was surrendered to a vet when her previous owners decided they didn't want her because she was too big.
My gerbils are also rescues. Their names are Mick Jagger, Freddie Mercury, and David Bowie. They are brothers and love to play and wrestle with one another. They currently reside in a 15 gallon tank, but will soon be getting a new cage with an extension to their tank which will be full of bedding to burrow in. They LOVE carrots, but only when they are shredded. They won't touch baby carrots or carrot slices, which I find kind of strange.
My hamster is a Chinese Dwarf hamster. Her name is Twichy, named after my boyfriend's gamer name, TWTCH. I bought her from pets mart because I couldn't find any dwarf hamsters for adoption and I didn't want to get a Syrian She is a loner and health guru. She doesn't eat sunflower seeds, they are too high in fat, and runs on her wheel 24/7. She doesn't like to be played with, but when you do take her out to run around, she loves to play on my laptop keyboard.
