I am a college professor at ARC. I am a Caring and Happy Guy and my animals sense that. It seems to make them happy too. I believe animals have the ability to know what’s going on. My Bengal Kitty “Axel” is a good example of that. He knows when I’m leaving for the day, the hour, and/or the night and behaves accordingly. (My Pet Cam shows me.) I am a very reliable person as I believe it’s just how one should conduct oneself: you either ARE or you AREN’T. I’m not the latter. It’s difficult to put a value on pet care. Not only is it good for the animals’ physical and emotional health, it makes for time away to be so much less stressful. I have only 1, one person whom I trust with the task and I know, first hand, my vacations are going to suck if I’m worried about my Pets. Leave it to Uncle Arne and go have fun!!
