Who are you in the real world?  Are you a professional animal wrangler?
My name is Jeff and I wish I was an animal wrangler; I run an art site based in Vancouver, Canada.

Do you have pets?  If so, what are they and what are their names? 
Currently no pets in Vancouver because the building we live in has a strict no pets policy. We were thinking about sneaking one in so I promised my fiancee we'd move and get a dog if the account reached 100k.  It felt like as soon as I made the promise the account started to grow really fast.  She's had 3 Frenchies in the past and her mom is a groomer so when we stay in Japan (for part of the year) we live with 2 dogs Kazuo and Henry.

Where do you source your material and how do you organize your material before and after you post it?
I used to put images on a Tumblr that only my close friends new about called Art Vandelay (http://www.artvandelay.com/), so I have folders filled with animal images from years of collecting. Friends send me lots.  I don't really organize or have any rules other than trying not to post many memes, usually the original images/videos are the best.

What is your favorite animal?
Chipmunks are pretty cool.
