Hi everyone! My name is Lori and I live in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia.  Pets and animals have always been a great source of joy, comfort, and laughter in my life.  My own pets have included dogs and cats (of course), gerbils, hamsters, parakeets, snakes, rabbits, and a cockatiel, gecko and bearded dragon.   The stories that feature these critters are unusual and entertaining.  I created this podcast as a way to share all of our stories because in the midst of life's bumps and bruises, a pet story is a good thing. 💕
