Mei Li
Emilee is 'Mum' to a menagerie of fluffy, feathered and scaly pets. She has a huge soft spot for all things fluffy, and spends a lot of her time with her three chow chows, Bao Bao, Xiao Long and Mei Li and her tribe of miniature pomeranians. Her three rescue cats enjoy harassing her for more food, even if it is way past meal time, and her herd of bunnies love getting into mischief - breaking into the hay bales and garden. Her flock of pigeons, chickens and small parrots make for a loud start to the morning! Although everyone, especially Xiao Long, is a problem child, they never fail to bring a smile to Emilee's face.
