I am a huge pet lover, and I am very comfortable with all animals, dogs and cats in particular. I believe that animal care is as important as child care, and I pride myself in being knowledgeable and compassionate with animals. I grew up on a farm with cows, pugs, chickens, cats and boarding collies. My dogs had a purpose and a responsibility to our little farm, and because of that, I have a profound respect for animals and their needs and their happiness that goes beyond the traditional idea of pet care.
