Moni Dover:  

Life Recently moved back to Northern Virginia after spending the last 20 years south of the Mason-Dixon Line (translates to: Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, California, Texas, Georgia). New home, new family, new career--old stomping ground. Life is getting nice and comfy. Update: after 3-1/2 yrs in NoVA, we have moved to Northern Florida. Home schooling my grandnephew and deciding my next career move. Although my 14 yr old tabby has passed on due to geriatric complications, we inherited (literally) my mom's 12 yr old black male. It's an interesting adjustment for the animals. Update II: my 12-1/2 yr old Burmese was euthanized last month due to complications of congestive heart failure. I adopted a yellow lab/mix from a rescue shelter last year. Still homeschooling my (now 4 yr old) grandnephew. Update III: another decade has passed. Still in Jacksonville. Picked up a BS degree while waiting out the recession. Been working as a paralegal for the last 6 years. My grandnephew is now 12 and I've gained a grandniece who is 5. Lost a couple of cats due to aging & illness. Gained a new cat and rescued another dog. My yellow lab is now 10 years old (wow), my tonkinese has a 17th birthday coming up. The "new kids" are a 2 yr old black & grey tabby, and a 2 yr old black lab/minpin mix.
