I never wanted to get married. I never thought that was in my cards. I always thought I was just going to be an independent woman my entire life. Hopefully having a partner but never getting married.
There was never a moment in my life that I remember not being a crazy animal lover!'
I've always been an animal lover and have no human children, so my heart has been with helping animals.
I had two cats growing up that were indoor/outdoor and both of them died from being hit by a car. One of them, she didn't have an ID tag on, so someone just thought it was a stray cat I highly recommend to keep your cats indoors. Their lives end up a lot longer.
Dog obesity is a big problem in this country.
I love spreading the word and encouraging people to adopt from their local shelters. There are so many wonderful animals waiting for loving homes.
I'm a cat person, I'm a dog person, I work in wildlife rescue.
Howard and I have found that our Bulldog Bianca, and adopted cats Walter, Apple and Leon Bear, enrich our lives so much.
Our whole life revolves around our pets.
Kittens are so messy and sometimes require several feedings a day.
In every single one of my purses, even my little satin clutch and my tiny Chanel bag, I always carry a lint roller. I keep them in every drawer, in every desk and nightstand. I just buy those at the dollar store in bulk.
I've been really diligent about going and getting screenings and mammograms, and so when I got the scare I said, 'Thank God that I went!' You can't blow it off. It's very important.
I was able to attend a doggie wedding where the bride wore a custom made gown of taffeta and satin - the quality of the dress was nicer than a lot of the human weddings I've been to.
He has painted many roses for me. My walls are covered with Howard originals.
It seemed silly to me I was getting all this recognition and attention for being with Howard. So I thought, 'I have this platform, what can I do with it?' Let's put forth my passion of animal rescue.
I love my Howard. He's a great guy.
If you don't have the energy or time to walk your dog, what I recommend is a doggie treadmill. It takes a little while to get the dogs accustomed to it and they are expensive, but if you're looking for a lavish gift for a dog that's fat, it's really great.
My mom, my dad, my two brothers - we're all animal lovers. I think we love animals more than most people.
When I spend time at North Shore Animal League America, I always feel so sad for the cats, especially the kittens. Once they're at North Shore, they're safe and I know they're going to find homes, but it's that time in between that they're in cages and waiting to find homes that breaks my heart and I feel like their spirits are gone.
It's very clean in our house.
