I have loved animals since I was a small child. My whole life I've wanted to be a vet or vet tech, but it never seemed to be in the plans for me. I have owned animals as long as I can remember and my first job at 14 was working for an animal hotel/ vet office where I walked dogs and cleaned up after them. I had children young, and I'm still growing my family. I have a black lab that I rescued as a puppy and he is now 4. He loves all 3 of my cats (all rescues ranging in age from 1 to 3) and my children and always gets along well with other dogs. My kids have been around animals their whole lives and my daughter naturally attracts them as I always have. I've done a lot of research on training and different breeds throughout the years, just out of interest.
