I have been a pet owner since I was born, and my first word was "cat"! I have had two dogs (both adopted), six cats, and five horses. My dad and I ran a horse boarding business, and during that time, we took care of many abandoned cats, our dog, and customer horses. Now that I've graduated college, I've kept one of my horses and adopted my own dog, Bluebearry (yes spelt that way). I have house sat for many past and present neighbor's cats and dogs. I have had them stay with me or went to their home. I have even took care of chinchillas! I have worked for Kasten Quarter Horses in River Falls, Wisconsin, Scribner Cutting Horses in Stacy, Minnesota, and our own boarding business at my parent's house, Cardwell Ranch and Area.
