Growing up there was never a time we didn't have animals; every kind from cats, dogs, horses, cows, goats, and even hamsters and ferrets. As an adult, I have raised my kids with animals, our big shepherds, cats and even mice. I've taken care of animals healthy and sick, worked at a vet for a couple years a long while back... and have even had a recent battle to keep one of my own dogs alive just this year. I feel as though it is time I fallow my heart and do something that makes a difference in pets and their peoples lives. My 2 big mix sheps, daughters of my big shep in my profile pic, are family. I would expect anyone who cared for them to treat them as such. That is what you could expect from me when caring for your critters.
