I have been caring for pets, since I was young. I always had atleast 1 cat and 1 dog since, well as long as I can remember. Through my 20's I used to go to peoples houses to care for their animals while they were away. Mostly weekends but sometimes week vacations. I traveled to NM from NJ about 3.5 years ago and both my cat and dog road with me. My dog, a 17 year old husky passed away this January and my would have been 18 year old bombay cat passed in August, both of old age issues. I really want to get more animals, as I am an animal lover, however my heart is not ready for that just yet. So please let me love your furbabies and get my fix.
