Re: MOTW - Feb 17 - Feb 23 2013 - Lija
where to start, where to start.....
my name is Natalija, I live in Calgary, have 2 daughters, 15 and 7. Originally from Lithuania ( small country by the Baltic sea) we moved to Canada 9 years ago. my older daughter is a crested gecko breeder ( with our help of course), but she loves it, knows everything about it, younger wants to have a leopard gecko as her first pet. quite a normal family, right.
When i was younger i used to have a Turkish Angora cattery, did a lot of shows and traveling, at one point i had 9 cats + kittens, but when i left for university it was hard to keep it up, thus had to say good buy to that part of my life. Growing up i had a lot of pets, birds mostly because my parents were not appreciative lol of anything scaly, they say that if you deprive children of something they find it hard to stop getting it when they grown ups, that would probably explain our current zoo, my husband was in exact same situation.
Growing up I was lucky enough to work with zoologist university professor on number of things, including genetics of budgies and rehabilitating wild birds, but wanted to help as many animals as i could and went for DVM studies where i met my other half. We are together for 17 years now.
to be continued..... gotta go, today is family day in Alberta

Re: MOTW - Feb 17 - Feb 23 2013 - Lija
lol they are not typical lol that is for sure, but i think lots of girls are this way because of stereotype, it is like almost expected for them to be this way. it is actually sad, when we have kids to come over and stay without parents they are very interested in things scaly, but if parent is present it is very different. From time to time I'm bringing one or 2 snakes or geckos to school for "show and tell", i think it is important to educate kids and give them opportunity to not be scared, to know how to respect reptiles and that they are not slimy as most of the people think. You won't believe how interested they are and how many whys I'm getting at schools, sometimes kids are coming to chat about something reptile related after school too. And we are talking about elementary school here.

It's very nice to learn more about you. I love the pictures.
We love cats too. We have 2 adopted cats, both black with green-yellow eyes. Typical short hair.
The performance outfits are beautiful! You are quite talented! I've found that a good number of us here either love art and/or have a creative talent of some sort
Re: MOTW - Feb 17 - Feb 23 2013 - Lija
Love the part about the cat trying to capture your Budgetts!!!
