Devoted pet owner and now, devoted pet editor, Judi worked in traditional offices, keeping the books and the day-to-day operations organized.

Retired, she currently lives with her spoiled dog and four chickens (who are, interestingly enough, also spoiled).

The cats each were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of families danced in their heads;
And dogs in their lodge runs
