Anyone who knew Leslie knows that the phrase "Easily distracted by dogs and cats" describes her so very well. A lifelong animal lover, she had a special place in her heart for the animals who brought companionship, joy, and unconditional love into her life. She always found something special in the loyalty and the comfort of having them by her side.

Her love for both dogs and cats and her legacy can best be illustrated by the fact that in her adult life, Leslie adopted 7 cats and 15 dogs from various animal shelters, giving each of these new members of her family the forever home they all deserved.
