Our Story

On wednesday afternoon I signed us up for the new Foster Program at the Franklin County Humane Society.    After years of complaining amongst friends about the lack of fostering there, I felt somewhat obligated to put my money where my mouth is (so to speak).    Luckily fostering doesn't really require much money... mainly animal food expenses.  What it does require is a big heart and a willingness to spend the time and effort helping an animal. 

In our case, it also requires the time to blog about our journey.   We have anything but a calm, relaxed life right now and I hope that by showing that we can foster I might encourage others to consider their ability to foster as well.

So, who are we?    Well, I work full-time as an environmental engineer for the Frankfort Sewer Department and am working on the beginnings of a batik clothing business.   My husband, Sellus, works about 60 hours a week as a "part time" City Commissioner, watches our 2-year old daughter, Jamison, while I'm at work, and is an award-winning filmmaker in his spare time.   We are also as active as we can be in the goings on in Frankfort, trying to support causes and issues we feel like will make Frankfort a cool place to be.   We have two siberian huskies, Sierra and Sitka, and a cat, Mahina.   We moved into a sweet little house in Rolling Acres earlier this year and are currently remodeling 2 of the 6 rooms in the house.   Oh, and we have another baby on the way who should be here around Thanksgiving!

And now we are fostering animals from the Humane Society.   We are crazy, I know.    But if we can do it, anyone can do it.
