Hello~~

About me:

My name is Dylan, and I just turned 26 years old. I work in research in at a smaller company in San Diego, specifically in the in vivo department and love it! I live in a house with my lovely girlfriend and our ten (yes, ten, I can explain!) pets. Every day can quickly become a tad bit crazy for us! We keep ourselves very busy with work, friends, and other hobbies. Among everything else that we do, I really enjoy spending time with my family and my wonderful girlfriend. We also have three other friends that live with us, and we appreciate them every day, such as at our "Friendsgiving"! (Above Photo)

All The Hobbies!

I consider myself to be a hobby enthusiast and oh-so-frequently find new hobbies to grab and run with. More recently, I've been trying to learn as much as I can about blockchain and cryptocurrencies (Yes, I know, typical). I love to fly my drone around the park with our dogs as well! I also love to ride my motorcycle (of course, with my girlfriend!) with my family on weekend rides to anywhere!

The Zoo!

But requiring the most attention in our lives right now is our Zoo! (I told you I would explain!)

We have:
1 lizard, 2 dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens

And they are a complete HANDFULL

Meet Kalai - Our Aussie!

She is a real treat to see every day. Her face can show an entire spectrum of emotions!

Meet Kairo, our 6 (yep, only 6) month old Great Pyranees!
Here's what he WAS vs IS! https://steemitimages.com/DQmSESSWWPKDJ1aroKpPpbPywY4TCwZrPW4GDKBxJSEkcTK/FB_IMG_1507081838515.jpg

Don't forget about our cats! Meet Lily, Leia, and Bubu! https://steemitimages.com/DQmPS1DMTCQKPNtwHMfMpcz2PPmPh8YFRCuHosMybPwBWj3/IMG_20180207_070324.jpg

And of course, everyone likes chicks! We bought these lovely ladies when they were a wee 2 days old and we raised them from chick-hood to woman-hood! (Note: These are egg laying chickens, not broiler, or meat chickens. We like them for the eggs and the spunky company!)

I was also thinking of making a "how-to" post on raising chickens and the things that having chickens requires. Would that be of interest?

Just don't forget about the lizard! He is ~17 years old. Not bad, for a little guy!

Have a great one, you guys!

(If there is interest, I am thinking of making a "Day in the life in animal research" post to try and clarify some of the myths present in this industry. Interest?)
