Kitties with Daddy!

Sorry to hear about Flex. But, wow, SEVEN? :-)

Actually, it is now 6. We lost Quadzilla the night before we left for the Prestige Cup.

Oh, no. :-(

Is your husband a cat or dog person?

Both. We both love all animals. It just so happens we have cats right now. We both grew up with dogs. He had a husky and I had a German Shepherd. We are also involved in animal rescue.

Flex Wheeler, may he rest in peace.

Quadzilla, RIP.

Jax

Willow

Stephanie

Awesome story.

Mike and Carrie are both really great people. I've been lucky enough to hang out with them on a few occasions and have always enjoyed their company. Hard to come across people that are as genuine in our sport.

Congrats, Carrie! Hope you guys are both doing well.

Curt is a superior interviewer... We've had some bad ones in the past.

You did not babble, you bubbled! With enthusiasm, intelligence, and been-there-done-that experience. Thank you for allowing all of us to get to know you, Mike, and your cats a little more. :-)
