Sugar, the rat
When at home, Emily spends time with her dog, three cats, dwarf hamster, mouse and rat. She spends the most quality time with Sugar, the rat. Sugar will perch on her shoulder or head -- and curls up to nap with Emily.
She interacts with a wider variety of animals as a Louisville Zoo volunteer. "The more you volunteer there, the more you get to do," said Emily, who has worked her way from the petting zoo to the Islands exhibit. "It's sort of like Asia ... with a focus on the different animals from the islands of southeast Asia."
Even her hobbies are animal-related. She not only writes about animals -- sharks, rats and any other creature she considers interesting and under appreciated -- she also makes sculptures of them.
"I have such a fascination with other living things, how they interact with each other and the environment, how they work together."
Emily is a Louisville Zoo Volunteer and has a mini-zoo at home too :o)
