My first pet was Max, a cat. We met when I first got home from the hospital. My second pet was Tigger, a striped kitty, who was my best friend from adolescence to adulthood. I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’ve been pet-sitting for friends and family since I could stay home on my own. I currently have an older Aussie named Rain, who I adopted in Colorado. We would regularly go to dog parks, people parks, hiking in the mountains, and any other adventure we could find. My family recently lost our Pitbull and our two kitties to old age. So I do have experience taking care of aging pets. As well as experience administering pills - even for cats. While I was in college, I worked at a doggie daycare kennel for a short while. I fed, bathed, and walked dogs. I fed cats, as well, and monitored the daycare room. And when I lived in Colorado, I volunteered for the Denver Dumb Friends League (animal shelter). There, I wrote copy for the available dogs, so I’d often go meet with the dogs and walk them so I could write something good. I also played with kittens because I could.
