20 years ago my very 1st job was at Wayside Waifs and I loved it and now my children work there. Every summer I would go to my grandparents and great grands house and they both lived on a farm in Ripley ,Tennessee.That was the best parts of my child hood .also I worked at The best animal hospital in town off 89th & Wornall in Kansas City, MO.I helped with grooming and prepped the surgery room an being a assistant to the veterinarian was pretty cool.That was a eyeopener to me on the love and passion i have for our furry friends. learing that some have special needs aand love we provide to animals. I have always had a cat,dog,bird, and fish. I love animals
