I have pretty much had pets since I was old enough to help take care of them. I remember my first dog, Sugar, from when I was a young child. She was my first best friend. I have owned 5 horses, 5 dogs, and several cats throughout my lifetime. I have one cat Raven, at the present. She has helped me through some really tough times. I treat my sweet "girl" just like family. I love to take pictures also, so I would love to send you pics. while you are gone so you can see how well they are taken care of. I promise to take care of your babies just like they were my own so you can be at ease while you have to be away from them.
