I have had cats and dogs continuously for the last twenty years. Also, I have cared for some friends' animals when needed and requested. I have attended to a wide variety of loving animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, and fish. I have owned and cared for many pets in my lifetime, including my last pit bull, Lucy a dog of fifteen years and my most recent cat Hobbit of almost twenty years. I understand each pet has their own personality and quirks. I know mine sure do. In fact, each of my pets has their own personal scrapbook. Also, I love to provide water and love to the neighborhood cats.
