"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."

I am healthy and energetic, responsible and reliable. I am a retired physical education teacher and coach and I have the summer and most holiday seasons off. I currently have one dog, a horse, two cats and numerous feathered friends in the form of chickens. My pets are happy and they make me happy.
