Pet care experience

From the day I was born I have had an animal, several dogs, fostered cats my vet tech sister would bring home, gerbils, fish, turtles; I consider the connection with an animal priceless. I currently have a 3 year old chocolate lab we got for our daughter and then a tuxedo kitty crossed our paths and needed a home; so it’s the been awesome watching them evolve and I’ve been vigilant to make sure they became fast friends but still with fair time of love!
