Mash up Austin

Derby teammate road trips to play mash up bouts with TXRD in Austin, TX are the best road trips. 

I'm with my BioHazard Babes' and Elite Team sisters Wreck N Roll & Demon Spawn. Look for us this June at Battle on The Bank in Seattle, WA. 

Slippery

My 84A Radar Wheels went back on my Wickeds yesterday for some banked track action in Austin, TX. with TXRD. The 93A Bullets definitely made me fast. I flew around the track but I also slipped out and slid all over. I hated to let that speed go but at the end of the day I need to have control. 💚 Joy Divizion #206

New Skates!

I just received my new Wicked skates from Reidell. New PowerDyne Rival Aluminium plates ( I cracked my thrust nylon plate on my She Devils). New Radar Bullet 93A Wheels (I can fly). 

I cannot wait to travel to Seattle, WA. (my homeland) for this year's Battle On The Bank with South Side Roller Derby's Elite team. 💚 Joy Divizion # 206

Roller Derby, that's all there is!

I signed up for roller derby in March 2013. Two years later I'm on two banked track teams, South Side Roller Derby's BioHazard Babes (I'm the co-captain) and Elite Team and two flat track teams, Houston Roller Derby's Machettie Bettie's and Missfits roller Derby. Yes, I will kick your ass! 💚 Joy Divizion #206

South Side Roller Derby's un official mascot!

Chichi

My newest foster is Chichi.
She is an adorable  Chihuahua mix puppy. I've had her for one week and she is just now five weeks old.  I am taking care of her while she matures and gains weight for surgery.  She is so cute. I have never had such a small puppy in my life. Her personality is very playful and cuddly.  She wants to play with my cats, Ozmo and Lulu so badly but they don't give small puppies the time of day. They're too cool for school.

Thanks to my time with Sprout and Jelly Bean I am very patient and observing of Chichi and her needs.  Chichi goes with me to roller derby practice too. She's pretty much the SSRD mascot.
We just started newspaper training today and so far she is getting an A+.  Her teeth aren't ready for hard food or treats so I am only rewarding her with "good girl" and it is working.
Thank you Chichi.

I'll try to add a video of Chichi walking around too. It is the most adorable thing you will see.

More on Chichi soon.

Jelly Bean and Sprout

Sprout and Jelly Bean

Meet Sprout and Jelly Bean.
I've discovered one of many ways to start giving back and one of them is fostering for the Houston SPCA.
These two cutie pies were my first two foster puppies.

They taught me so much about puppies and myself. I amazed at how much I am learning from animals so small, so young and unique.  This has become one of the most exciting and rewarding things I have ever done in my life.

I had Sprout and Jelly Bean for five weeks while they matured and gained weight.
They were approved for surgery and adoption and were adopted within 24 hours of their surgeries.
I miss them and I love them dearly. I am very happy for them and their forever homes.

It feels so good to know that they have homes and a wonderful dog life a head of them and in some small way I contributed to that dog life.

Many more fosters to come.
