Nurse of over 18years who loves animals. They love me as well. My daughter says her dog knows I'm his grandmother. My sister says her dog was always calm till I walk in. I'm 63 years old so I have had many years of experience! My Mom and Dad taught me how to care for animals as we always had them in our home when I was a baby, our dog slept under my crib for protection. No one came near my bed! Everyone says all my friends animals always hang with me verses their owner because I always talk to them. I love all animals and they love me too! I show no favoritism! I bathe them as well! I prefer them to be clean when they come in! I like to hold them a lot!
