Hello from Southern California
New here. Joined yesterday. My name is Mariska and I will turn 51 this year's March. Born in the Netherlands, married in the Netherlands, moved to the USA in 2008, I now live in Southern California with my husband and two poodles (a standard and a mini). I never grew up having dogs, due to allergies. I had to turn 45 to find out that I could be in a room with a poodle without having the usual allergic symptoms. So my dogs are special to me. I take my mini to agility twice a week. I groom my own dogs (although, that does make me sneeze a bit). Not in the traditional poodle cut though; I'm a lazy brusher
Further more I like to draw, paint, photograph, cook, and bake (not necessarily in that order).
My forum name was born because most of the time my actual name is already taken. So at some point I came up with this anagram. And it has been MrsKaia ever since. Looking forward to chatting with you. You seem like a very friendly bunch
