It's no surprise that I chose this profession:
I love animals.
I am fortunate to share my life with some wonderful animals: three dogs, Fiver, FigJam, and Corb, three horses, a magnificent cat named Fuzzy Hooker Boots, and my husband Dr David Lane, DACVSMR, a veterinary sports medicine specialist at Points East West Veterinary Services.
My dog training interests include dock diving, agility, cooperative care, tricks, and scent detection. My horse training interests include cooperative care, starting horses under saddle, and training solid foundation behaviours. My cat has trained me to run the shower anytime he wants fresh water.
