Growing up with animals all my life, even raising cats and dogs that had no home has made my heart grow deeply to loving animals as my own. In the same manner ,I would also treat the care of other animals as I do mine. Belly rubbing ,playing and love and attention and yes, conversation. I have worked as an animal care tech back in 1997 assisting vet technicians and caring for animals such as walking, feeding, grooming, playtime in the yard and designated kennel area and giving medications and even clean ups from accidents and post surgical area to make sure animals remained clean. I loved caring for animals as it made me happy to hear the meows and see the wagging tails of happy dogs.
