I've had dogs and have been around dogs my entire life! I used to dog sit for my mother's friend while I was in high school, and basically took care of my father's dog while I was in his home for several weekends. I'm also a huge cat person and, honestly, any kind of animal person. I took care of two cats that were my own growing up and loved them more than anything! I've always been around animals and enjoy their company so much, and being able to meet other animals seems so exciting to me because they're all so different! (and so cute!)
