Crystal's absolute favorite part about working with animals is watching the "babies" grow and learn, and, of course, helping them feel better. She also humorously appreciates that animals are generally much nicer to be around than people!
Crystal's home is shared with a charming furry trio, including two "foster fails" from the Norfolk SPCA, whose original names she kept to avoid bad luck:
- Rue is a 10-year-old calico, very much embodying her calico-esque personality.
- Chip (also known as Chippy or Chunkerchip) is a 9-year-old tabby who famously "screams the song of his people to get snacks."
- Paisley is a 1.5-year-old standard poodle, whom Crystal describes as "insane in the membrane."
When she's not at work, Crystal loves to read. Her go-to comfort snack is pistachios.
A fun and surprising fact about Crystal that most people don't know is that she groomed dogs for almost a decade. What always makes her day better is when everyone works together as a team.
Crystal's favorite season is Fall! Having grown up in upstate New York, she'll always cherish the typical changing of the leaves, pumpkins, apple cider, and crisp breeze that define the season. She's very excited to get to know all of your beloved "babies"!
