I've had dogs since I was three years old, so communicating with and caring for them comes naturally to me. This included helping with intense care for my first dog, Sunny (R.I.P.), for the last several years of her life, which we ensured were as painless and relaxed as possible, and raising my second dog, Roxie (pictured), from a rebellious new puppy to an intelligent and mellow adult. I currently have a cat, Remy, a rescue/former stray (also pictured). I also have experience caring for fish, reptiles, amphibians, and rodents.
