I got referred to this site from Avian Forums from when I use to have birds. I wanted to join a different forums community that I could relate to since I am no longer a bird owner.
My name is Lauren, I live in central Illinois, I just turned 34 on October 30! I am married to my husband of 17 years, 17 together, 7 officially married years lol. I work as a preschool teacher. Right now I am on maternity leave until end of December with my first baby. Her name is Lily and was born October 2! We are over the moon with her! Anyways onto pets! I have a black/tan shiba inu named Chiyo she is 5 yrs old! She loves people but hates other dogs especially female idk why ! Why socialized her as a puppy and she just dislikes dogs. Next we have a 8 yr old male blue grey whites mitted ragdoll cat. His name is Bumble like from the rudolph show. He is very soft and very friendly. He isn’t afraid to say hello and then we have a white calico domestic shorthair female named Willow. She loves to cuddle and cuddle under blankets shes also 8! We got them both as kittens! I love to draw on my ipad, watch/read anime/manga, go shopping, watch movies, be with family etc. will post pics in next post.

Glad you joined the site and introduced us to your family especially Lily. 
Your cats are precious and I love your Shiba Inu, they are very clean dogs, independent but intelligent too. I'm a dog lover as well as a cat lover.
You can post pics or start a thread about Chiyo here: 
Beautiful babies, the furry ones, and the non-furry one.
