Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog/cat could be soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul. I will treat your baby as if they were mine compassion for animals is intimately associated with goodness of character. 3 years experience working in an animal clinic, I would be the best fit for your baby. I have a fur baby of my own by the name of Tyson he is a maltipoo and he gets along very well with other animals other then working, I spend my days with him taking him on walks in the park and we would love to make new friends to play at the doggy park, feel free to contact me whenever you won't regret it. ???
