Oh just found this thread.
I live in Utah and have thought of mailing an inmate for years, but have never done it. Probably because I'm a bit nervous about it. I may stop on the way home and get a P.O. box...
I'm 40, just turned this year, married to a wonderful man. We have a family of fur-kids (five dogs and two cats). I love to do dog sports and dog rescue. We just were fostering our 5th dog.. and she is so perfect for me and will be great in dog sports that I can't give her up. Ugh. I need another dog like I need a hole in the head.
I'm a programmer by trade and have been for 10 years, worked in the welfare dept for 10 years before that. Work, though, gets in the way of all the things I really enjoy doing.
My husband is awesome and puts up with me and loves the dogs too, he loves the cats more than me, he's a cat person and I'm a dog person, but we get along in the end.
