My wife is a former Rover partner. We used to have a little Chihuaua and a Poodle at home for years, besides having extra dogs overnight at times. I am passionate about animals, I do own a parakeet myself as well. Part of my childhood was in rural Brazil, where taking care of animals was a big part of our lifestyle. Love was the essential element while growing up in the country side. We had birds, dogs, cats and even lizards. a good memory from this background is when I was about ten years old and uses to go walking into a huge savana for hours while being guided by a stray dog that spent a few years living with us. The best times! Miss it a lot.
