I have a lot of experience with animals. Whether it's a dog, cat, reptile or a trained backyard squirrel, I love all the companionship nature provides. I'm very understanding of the different personalities each animal has & will accommodate them accordingly. One of my most memorable pets was a dog named Sparky who came from an abusive home. She was a medium sized dog that could smile on command. She was very timid but the most loving animal I ever had. I've also had cats and quite a few reptiles as well as a chipmunk I trained to eat out of my hands. I've had a lot of experience with several breeds of dogs. Each one unique & with different needs. Dogs are amazing in their ability to lift you up when you're feeling down.
