My family made sure my sister and I grew up with a dog since I was three years. I learned at a young age how to care for our dog Beau - mom did a good job and so did my dad. After Beau came Sam -- I was now in seventh grade. How I loved Sam, as well as, my friends too. He was not only adorable but, super smart. After Sam came my very own dog Lester and six months later Gysey. My husband and I are both animal people. Before having kids they were our four-legged kids. Having pets is a hug responsibility. Sunnie came after they both passed and she was a great lady. She grew with our daughters and taught them how to care for a dog. Kitty came to me (a long story) and we took her in with Sunnie. Having a cat is a wonderful experience. We also threw in a parakeet named Bob. We learned Bob was actually Roberta. We had "Bob" for eight years. I had a parakett growing up and it was a great experience learning how to care for a bird. The picture is of myself and Lexie -- my daughter's college dog rescue. Lexie ended up living with us when she moved into a small apartment. We had three dogs including Lexie and Kitty. And, they all got on well! Oh, I forgot to mention Dash. She came here when my daughter saw her darting across Jefferson. It took over an hour to catch Dash. She would become my companion. She is the one that broke my heart the most when we lost her to cancer in September of 2021. Right now we still have Kitty and one of my daughter's moved back home for a while -- with Howard. Another wonderful addition to our family. My love for animals goes beyond words. They give so much and require only our heart (which equals responsibility.) I look forward to taking the worry from you when you are away -- I promise your pet(s) will be in good hands.
