Michele carries a unique ability to connect deeply with animals, sensing their needs and able to care for them in a way I have not seen before. My dog Kody was elderly with an illness that gave him pain. He could only be alone for 5 hours at a time. We had a trip of absolute necessity and turned to Michele to care for Kody along with our cat Bella. She stayed in our home and Kody fell in love with her, as did our Bella who has not taken with people so easily in the past. She would give Kody massages for his pain and just loved to sit and be with him. At the end of his life, Michele came to be with him until the last breath. I think the best way to really share with you her love of animals is in how she greets animals in the room first, before people....and they are eager for her affection as her hands hold love. Michele is also responsible in a way outside of the pet care, she cared for our plants too along with keeping the house better than she found it.
