Meet Content Contributor: Lindsay

Lindsay joined My Pet Savings as an occasional content contributor in January 2011.

Lindsay is a former zoo keeper and animal trainer now pursuing her degree in veterinary medicine. She blogs at Centsible Pets and also writes pet related articles at ehow and Suite 101. Lindsay shares her home with 3 dogs, 2 cats, a small flock of chickens, and a baby goat named Luna.

Her dog, Emma, is a 10 year old Golden Retriever that is most content coddling her many “babies” and holding someones hand. Abby and Reagan are miniature dachshunds rescued from Fun Doxie Rescue in Detroit, Michigan. They spend inordinate amounts of time hidden under the covers and generally refusing to accept their short statures. Sketch and Roy, the resident kitties are both rescues from Lindsay’s undergraduate days in New Orleans, LA and still refuse to believe the 18 hour cramped evacuation from Hurricane Katrina wasn’t, at least in part, Lindsay’s fault. The chickens and    Luna are the newest additions to the household as Lindsay discovers her inner farmer and tries to convince Luna that she isn’t actually a wiener dog.
