I’ve been honored to care for a number of friend’s pets over the years as well as my own. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, gerbils… I truly love all animals. I am patient & like to meet an animal where they are rather than forcing my expectations on them. I have ignored a fearful St. Bernard for months, avoiding eye contact in order to earn her trust. She now sits on my lap & rolls over for belly rubs. I follow instructions & trust that a pet’s people know them best. I have applied ointment to a kitten’s eyes, given insulin injections as well as oral medication to my own cat & pilled others. I’ve volunteered for years at The Animal Welfare League doing cat care. There I’ve encountered a number of needs & personalities & am always so happy to see a rescues true personality emerge.
