I have always had an animal around the house since I can remember. Over the course of my life, I have had eight dogs (big and small), five cats, corn snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, and several fish. Quite a bit, if you ask me, but I've always though, the more the merrier! I love all types of animals and approach every species/breed with the same amount of patience and care. I bring a very calm presence in an effort to soothe pet anxiety, but I sure know how to have some fun!
