Being raised in south Mississippi, I was able to gain a love and great understanding of many pets and animals. I was blessed with an animal loving family that showed me how to appreciate life in all forms. As a child my granny and I would feed deer and the neighbor’s cows and chickens. I was younger, but I remember I came across a hurt blue jay and, with no exotic veterinarians near by, my granny made sure his last moments were comfortable and meaningful. She taught me the importance of caring for others and the ability to show love without words. Aside from my strong household experience; I also have some professional training as well. I worked at PetSmart, in pet care, where I became familiar with a vast variety of pets. I gained knowledge on the health and nutrition of cats and dogs, as well as, reptiles, amphibians, and rodents. I believe caring and spreading appreciation with a little education for these creatures is my calling, that I’d love to do everyday.
