About

Michelle grew up in Arling­ton, VA, and was lucky to be sur­round­ed by all types of ani­mals from an ear­ly age. It start­ed with Toot­sie the tor­toise in Montes­sori school. There was always a wide vari­ety ani­mals in her home grow­ing up includ­ing: Jasper the goat, Rasputin rat, count­less ger­bils, Char­lie the horse and many, many cats and dogs. Even T. Rex the horned toad!

“Ani­mals are the one com­mon ground in our fam­i­ly. We all are pas­sion­ate about them and there isn’t one exception.”
