I love my job because it is so much fun. I always have something to say. I like to give advice to people and enjoy finding relationship & self-improvement stories to share with folks. I prefer to look at the bright side. I also believe that community service is a great gift that should be given by everyone and especially anyone willing to give of their time. I'm a huge dog lover and German Shepherds are my favorite. I visit our local animal shelter often and take photos for blogs to help find homes for the homeless pets. If you have lost a pet I can put a photo and description on our website with your contact information. Just send me an email! Please remember to spay and neuter your pets and, super important, get them microchipped.

What is That Awful Smell in Texarkana?
What is causing the horrible smell in Texarkana? Tell us below what you think is causing it. To me, it smells like a cattle truck parked next to the radio station. Someone said it was a plant in Fulton that gets chicken parts from Tyson and cooks them, then dries it out for chicken feed. There is something a little unsettling about chickens eating chickens. Do you know what the smell is?
