I've been caring for animals since my teenage years. I started out with an animal that has a terrible reputation, but happens to be one of the most intelligent small animals. Domesticated Norwegian rats. I became an avid trainer, teaching them to spin and even play basketball. Others call them "pocket puppies", and so I began training small dogs next. Hanging out with the fur babies, having a schedule that includes my tiny dog, it's the best part of my daily life and even encourages me to take better care of myself.
