Graduate of December 2008 and December 2009 petting zoos. Adopted in early 2010.

I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but I moved to Austin awhile ago. My old owner went away to college, and her parents sent me to Goodwill. I’m a little shell-shocked from being alone on those wire shelves for so long, and I’ve always been a little nervous anyway… but my therapist is awesome, and I’m totally working through it. I haven’t had a panic attack in over four months! I hope to one day be a journalist, if there are still journalists around when I’m old enough to be one. I like to cuddle (after I know I can trust you). My therapist says I have attachment issues, but awareness is the first step toward recovery.

Adoption Completed: January 2010
