Off the Clock

In her spare time, Lauren likes to visit Cape Cod’s beaches and golf courses. Closer to home, she fiddles with watches and other machinery to see how things work mechanically. She’s accompanied on all of her adventures by her miniature schnauzers, Sargent Pepper and Abbey Rhoades, both rescue pups from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.
