I have been around and cared for animals all my life; both domesticated and wild. I was a Vet aid in my younger years and worked at a park training wild animals. This was before I married, had children and was raising/breeding my own dogs. At one time I had a large home and yard, three English Mastiffs, a Jack Russell Terrier and two cats. My children are grown and off to school now and I am a travel OTA (Occupational Therapy Assistant) I do not currently have a pet of my own and miss that connection in my daily life. Will Rogers has a quote " I never met a man I didn't like" I feel that way about animals, I never met an animal I didn't like and I have rarely met one that did not like me as well. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon!
