I have known Rikki her whole life and she has always had a warm place in her heart for all animals, big or small. At a young age she made the decision to become a vegetarian largely because of that love. She has grown up caring for the family dogs, cats and fish. She not only walks and feeds them but also shows them plenty of love and affection. If the animals around her are not happy then she is not happy, and she is a very happy person. I can guarantee you that she will take care of your pets as if they were her own.
