I've been on this forum since 2009 but haven't been active for 5 years until a month or so ago, so I thought I should do a new intro.
My name is Jeff. I'm 30 and live in upstate NY. I've liked always helping others and let that passion guide me to earning my bachelor's degree in social work. I've also been an avid animal lover my whole life. I'm fortunate to be working for an animal shelter where I can apply the skills and values of social work with the opportunity to give a voice to what I consider to be the most oppressed population.
As you can probably guess I have a number of pets including a German Shepherd that I got from work (Iris-whose photo is my icon), 4 elderly cats (Rocky, Rusty, Carly and Faith) a young female cat (Munchie), and a recently adopted unnamed mother cat w/ 3 kittens.
I've been an MLP fan since I was about 4 when I'd watch the orginal cartoons before preschool. I don't remember which pony was my first. I think it was either Majesty, Baby Cotton Candy, Peachy, or So Softy Lofty.
So that's a little about me!
