Meghan Lodge
Full Name (Including Embarrassing Second Names): Meghan Lodge
Location: Cairo, GA
Where You Can Find Me on the Internet: Oh My Pibbles!, Facebook
What I Do for a Living: Disability Adjudicator with the State of Georgia
What I Do for Fun: Write, draw, take pictures, knit/crochet, solve puzzles, volunteer at my local shelter.
The Furry Members of My Household Are: Axle the American Pit Bull Terrier and Toby the half-Siamese/half-mutt-nut cat.
My Favorite Things to Write About Are: Animals, particularly my own! Also anything I experience/am passionate about.
My Pet Peeves Are: Bad spelling/grammar (don't we all have spell-check?), irresponsible owners/rescues, smacking, misbehaved pets (like my own...).
My Guilty Pleasures Are: Haagen-Dazs Peppermint Bark Ice Cream, cute cat toys, "smart" pet toys, dog collars, candles.
How I Deal with Cat/Dog Hair: Furminator de-shedding tool, frequent brushing, grain-free foods, sweeping daily (Swiffer Sweep & Vac is your best friend!), leather furniture, minimal carpet.
What I Want to Be When I Grow Up: Superwoman. Seriously. I used to want to be a vet, but I can't stand seeing animals in pain. I love investigating fake or bad rescues, as well as other criminals. I've even staked out my own house and caught a burglar!! I wouldn't want to be a PI or a cop because they have rules. Superwoman has no rules, and she has a pretty awesome costume.
