Loving owner of two Tibetan Terriers (Wigglebutt Duncan and Isadora Duncan) who are an absolute hoot and have trained me to do their bidding with humor and grace; in my 'spare' time I am a licensed clinical (health) psychologist who also teaches skiing part-time in Vail CO and goes hiking in the summers with Wigglebutt and Izzy, my inspiration for this blog.
