Shannon has been an animal lover from the time she was a little girl. Growing up, Shannon's family had a menagerie of pets including horses, pot-bellied pigs, ferrets, exotic birds, a monkey, cats and many many dogs.

Shannon moved from Texas to Boulder 15 years ago and earned a degree in Sociology from the University of Colorado. She loves nothing more than taking her dog Maggie for long walks on the trails around her home in beautiful Nederland, CO.

Heather moved from Michigan to Boulder 12 years ago after graduating from Western Michigan University.

From the time Heather could check out her own library books she would be found in the corner with 17 different dog breed books.

Her dog Sunny is a wire-hair pointer who is crazy about pheasants. And squirrels.
