When not traveling the countryside, attempting to stamp out disease and mitigate pain and suffering, she likes to play platform tennis, as well as hop on her bicycle, whenever possible. Until recently, she enjoyed spending time with her pasture potato, geriatric horse, Cody, and superstar, also geriatric, dog, Sukey (pictured), both of whom she just lost at the ages of 31 and 17, respectively. She still enjoys hanging out and playing pretty much any sport involving a stick or racquet and ball with her husband, Jeff, who is not geriatric, rescued or a pasture potato, but is a superstar.
