I have grown up caring for many different animals from dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, fish and I'm sure I don't remember. Animals need love just like humans and need taken care of just like one of the family. If I could help a pet with say separation anxiety or just l have a new puppy feel secure. Not everyone has the gift to handle animals. I'm pretty lucky to have a second chance on starting over. I intend to stay active and exploring my choices taking short walks and playing would add joy to my life. I would even walk cats if asked. Sounds funny but cats like to be outside but not everyone likes to let their pet just wild. My parents are a prime example.
