Growing up from an early age my family and I have always had dogs and cats. The first dog I was around consistently was my grandmothers, Buddy. I loved her with all my heart as a child and followed her around constantly. When I was young I got my first cat Oscar. He was a calm but talkative orange tabby. My mother then got Adam to give Oscar a friend. My first dog I got from a local shelter, Lulu. Over the years I had a few more. A newfoundland Bernie who would wait patiently at the water bowl for the cats to be done. Norman, a black cat who had an old man meow. A German Shepard mix, Guthrie who was a ball of energy from day one, and 2 dachshund mixes, Joe and Axle who look completely different from each other but follow each other everywhere. After moving out of my mother's house eight years ago I slowly kept taking in cats, currently with four, Charles, Maddie, Dexter, and Luna. I firmly believe having pets to love is one of the best parts in life.
