I've grown up around animals all my life, from outside dogs, to barn cats, to cuddly kitten bed warmers, to animals with care plans like diabetic puppers! I am an engineering professional with lots of flexibility to be able to travel and work from my computer, so I have the ability to very easily dedicate lots of time to animal care during short breaks. My wife is even more enthusiastic than I! We have a Golden Retriever / Lab mix who is absurdly lovey, and a Golden Retriever pure bred that loves nothing more then to scratch himself against your feet. We also have a super affectionate cat, and a very loner cat. Our children love animals as well and love spending time playing, petting, and conversing with them!
