Example

I am Mrs. Quarles. You may call me Mrs. Q if you find pronouncing my last name difficult. I have a BA from Mercer University, a MEd in Social Sciences from JSU, and am currently working towards my doctorate at KSU. I am married with two adult children. I live on a farm in Douglasville with my husband, daughter, eight dogs, one cat, and seven chickens. I enjoy reading, watching reruns of Criminal Minds (love Shemar Moore and Matthew Gray Gubler), Marvel AND DC comics/ movies, debating politics and law, and love online gaming. My current game is a return to World of Warcraft, but my time is very limited in getting to play it because of preparing lessons and doing my own homework.

As I already mentioned, there are a lot of pets on our little farm; mainly because I work with animal rescue. Our oldest at 14 is a miniature black lab named Biscuit. She may be gray now, but she still acts like a puppy. Next in line is Bama Bocefus who is a wonderful farm dog. He is an Anatolian shepherd/ lab mix. Our cat who thinks she's a dog (I wonder why) is our sweet little Gemini. Then we have my little chiweenie Zoe (My husband has nicknamed her Ugly Cat). She is my little fur baby and is quite opinionated as she sees herself as Alpha of the pack. Joining our family soon after Zoe was our little Tasmanian Devil (Taz) who is also a chiweenie. Next in line are littermates Luke and Leia (yes, we are Star Wars fans). They are pomchis, so they are an energetic handful most days. Then we have our last set of littermate chiweenies named Bitty Baby Betty Boop (Bitty for short) and her brother Kodo (aka Scruffy Boy). Both are lovable characters who keep the older ones on their toes. At any rate, the farm is a lively place.
