I have had animals my whole life so they are very familiar to me. I have experience in taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, some of those animals being handicapped with special needs. I presently own three dogs ( two very large bullies and a chihuahua) and two cats. I have experience with dealing and taking care of small to extra large breeds. I love all breeds of cat and dog. I understand that each cat and dog are individuals and have their own personalities. I am able to read cat and dog body language well, which helps me decide what works best for them when I am interacting and taking care of them. I enjoy their company very much and feel animals enrich our lives.
