My name is Jade (they/them pronouns please!) – I do just about anything except giving the haircuts! You’ll typically see me doing reception, bathing/drying, obsessively cleaning/tidying, or expressing anal glands. I am the proud owner of a Misfit Meep, Gracie. I’m food motivated, rowdy, definitely the funniest one, and offbeat.
