ABOUT GEMINI SASSON

If you ask me to describe myself in three words, they would be: runner, writer, dog-lover, in no particular order. I started running seriously in 9^th grade because the Phys Ed teacher badgered me to join the track team (thank you, Mr. Williams). Over thirty years later, in my second marathon, I qualified for the 2017 Boston Marathon. Cross that off the bucket list.

Growing up, I was the kid in the neighborhood who coaxed the strays to take bits of bologna from my fingers and, to my parents’ dismay, brought them home. My childhood was filled with mutts, but shortly before getting married, my husband and I got our first Australian Shepherd. Our kennel, Imagineer, is an Australian Shepherd Club of America Hall of Fame Excellent Kennel.
