I got my own first pet cat at 4 and I haven't looked back. From cats and dogs to goats and chickens, i just gotta have animals around. I have volunteered at the animal shelter as a dog walker in the past where I walked, played and visited with all sizes and types of dogs. I currently have a staffie cattle dog mix who is a lot of energy and a stubborn smarty pants, but I absolutely love him and his challenges. I have a cat too, and the two of them play together and go for walks with me. I have been thinking about going back to school to work with animals since that was my original plan, and I just can't seem to find anything I like more.
