When Kaycee first met Tina, the tiny chihuahua instantly glared at her in the most “judgemental” way possible. It may not have been love at first sight for Tina, but Kaycee instantly fell head over heels with the little pup’s attitude.
According to GeoBeats Animals, Kaycee had experienced the loss of her dog, Beebs, just weeks before meeting Tina.
Beebs meant the world to Kaycee and she wasn’t ready to move on.
However, Kaycee ended up hearing about Tina the chihuahua, a pup who’d recently lost her owner. Kaycee and Tina had both gone through a hard loss, and a friend that knew about Tina and her situation asked Kaycee if she’d be willing to take her in.
Kaycee wasn’t sure if she could handle bringing a new dog home so soon after she lost Beebs, but she decided to give things ago. Perhaps she and Tina could mourn their losses together!
During their first meeting, Kaycee quickly realized that Tina may just be one of the most judgemental dogs to walk the face of the planet! The way the pooch glared at her with so much judgement in her eyes was something Kaycee had never experienced before – and she was intrigued.
Tina continued to wow Kaycee with her human-like traits and unique quirks. She was unlike any dog Kaycee had ever met.
It wasn’t long before the two were inseparable. They each had to mourn their losses still, Kaycee for Beebs and Tina for her previous owner, but they were able to do that side-by-side and that made everything better.

I am broadly interested in how human activities influence the ability of wildlife to persist in the modified environments that we create.
Specifically, my research investigates how the configuration and composition of landscapes influence the movement and population dynamics of forest birds. Both natural and human-derived fragmenting of habitat can influence where birds settle, how they access the resources they need to survive and reproduce, and these factors in turn affect population demographics. Most recently, I have been studying the ability of individuals to move through and utilize forested areas which have been modified through timber harvest as they seek out resources for the breeding and postfledging phases. As well I am working in collaboration with Parks Canada scientists to examine in the influence of high density moose populations on forest bird communities in Gros Morne National Park. Many of my projects are conducted in collaboration or consultation with representatives of industry and government agencies, seeking to improve the management and sustainability of natural resource extraction.
