Dianne, a Colorado native,  worked in the insurance industry most of her business life and finally retired in 2011. She divides her time between gardening her five acres of shade in the Black Forest, travel with her husband, Doug, and volunteering at Wild Blue. As a self-professed “crazy cat lady” Dianne likes that she can love on so many cats at Wild Blue without actually owning them, then go home to her five kitties to “rest.”
