I come from a long line of proud animal lovers and growing up we always had at least one dog in the house. Over the years we’ve had German Shepherds, Dobermans, a St. Bernard, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and a Golden Retriever/Lab mix. Unfortunately my current apartment doesn’t allow dogs, otherwise, I would definitely have one here with me in the city! Instead, I have two guinea pigs - I love watching them play and just talking to them, learning about their unique personalities, and making them as happy as can be. No matter how big or small, all animals take patience and attention, but to me there’s no better feeling than figuring out what an animal is trying to communicate to you in their own language. Who needs Netflix? I'm watching these truly amazing creatures!
