I love both cats and dogs, though I only have cats these days due to apartment living. I've had cats all my life (so, since the mid 70s), but I've had dogs as well, and I absolutely adore them. One of my favorite things about my full-time job is that co-workers occasionally bring in their dogs, and whether they're 6 lbs. or 120 lbs. I love spending some time with them. Most dogs and cats seem to sense that I'm an animal person, and I can connect with them quickly. Their safety and happiness is my priority when I'm spending time with them. I work in customer service, so I also value providing good service to my human customers, including being punctual and meeting my commitments.
