As you can tell with my headline, I have plenty of terrible jokes to offer to both you and your pets. I grew up with many different kinds of pets (i.e. gerbils, hamsters, small and large dogs, turtles, hermit crabs, etc.). Throughout college I babysat both children and pets, and of course practiced my terrible jokes along the way. I used to teach in the KCMO area and I understand just how important consistency and flexibility comes for both children and pets. I currently work in the school system in Philadelphia, so during the week I work a typical school schedule.
