September will be three years for me at the Providence, Rhode Island Branch.

Do you have pets?

I have a dog named Benji, a British short hair cat named Jasper and a mouse named Beau.

Favorite pet rescue experience?

The story about Tank the mouse would be my craziest animal rescue. Scooping him out of a tank and trying to raise him without a mother.

Craziest item/animal/etc you've found in a drain?

The craziest thing I've seen in a drain would be a tech deck finger skateboard.
