One of my greatest passions in life is caring for and being around animals. My entire life, I've always had to have a pet by my side - be it cats, dogs, turtles, toads, or even just catching bugs! I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding/grooming facility. Being around animals teaches you patience, love, and acceptance. Every dog is beautiful and unique, from little Chihuahuas to Irish wolfhounds, and they all deserve the same love and acceptance that they teach us. If an animal is happy, I'm happy. It means the world to me knowing an animal is loved and cared for. My own dog, Smokey, and I love making new animal friends to play and walk or hike with. Every animal I meet, I care for as if they were my own.
