Pet care experience

2 is better than 1, Mother and Son

My experience and the love I feel for pets comes from my childhood, I take care of them as if they were my babies and when I walk with them it is a view for me to see them very happy, they are also skilled, they enjoy to play with each other and they are better loving creatures than us humans. In the cold season I don’t like having them outside I try to protect them and keep them warm with blankets to warm them. I have a history when I lived with my parents in Colombia they had a large yard with many pets including rabbits, birds, pigeons, cats, dogs, parrots, ducks, chickens and many fruit trees, and other unique birds arrived in the patio singing and it was beautiful listening. One day a bird fell to the ground and I spoke to them well so I approached to help him, I gave him first aid because the little bird had a broken foot, at that moment I decided to implement a cream to deflate him because he was bloated. I called my grandmother to help me apply the splints on the black bird’s legs, I then gave him a cage to stay in for his recovery, the night came and he entered the cage having protection from cats. The next day I went to the bird and put food and water in his bowls, he didn’t eat all day since, I was worried so I filled my hand with food and talked to him with a lot of love and finally he ate from my hand with all my patience. After two and a half weeks he recovered, for me it was something surprising to see him recover, so then I opened the cage and shouted your free now and didn’t want to leave, the night came and I took him back to the cage for bedtime. The next day the same thing happened, but in the afternoon he came out of the cage, flew in and entered and I said, you are free my friend I love you very much, I will miss you, and my mother told me the bird didn’t want to leave because I gave it a 5 star hotel. I laughed a lot, finally he came back the next morning, but before leaving I told him to go but come and visit me when you can and it was in the morning that he returned again but singing with happiness when I saw him. For me this story that happened with this bird left me marked because it teaches us to value life.

We had a great experience with Marina. She took excellent care of Greta and was very flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times. It’s hard to find someone you can trust so quickly, but Marina was fantastic. Thank you for being so kind!

Snowball seemed to be well taken care of and Marina said she would gladly watch him again. I provided litter box, food and water dishes and it went well. I know Snowball liked being in a home instead of a kennel.
