I grew up with a dog as my best friend and loved taking her on walks and teaching her new tricks. When my parents adopted a rescue dog, I helped her get used to people and took her and the whole gaggle of three small Bichons to the dog park and on long walks at the state parks. I’ve spent thousands of hours working with horses and have always loved a friendly barn cat. When my roommate and I found three orphaned kittens at work, we just couldn’t resist and have been raising them since they were five weeks old. As much fun it’s been playing with them and taking them on walks, I’m a dog person at heart. Because of the kittens and my small apartment, I’ve got no dog of my own and am seriously missing man’s best friend!
