Melissa has been a dog lover since she can remember. She played with dogs (stuffed animals) instead of Barbie's. At school, she was the "Pied Piper" for all the dogs on the playground. They'd follow her home (much to her mother's chagrin), to be treated to a nice cool bowl of water and dog food from their family dog.
Melissa is a member of the American Boarding and Kennel Association and a Certified Pet Care Technician.
Melissa and her husband, Greg, are the proud parents of two beautiful Shelties, Ginger and Nutmeg.
