I've always had pets for as long as I can remember. My family is known for loving animals. My grandmother, and a close friend of hers, actually took in a few abused animals and nurtured them back into stable homes. With my help, if course, with the more physical aspects. I took them for walks, carried their heavyweight food bags in, and even bathing them. I think animals are wonderful creatures who deserved to be showered with nothing but love. In high school, I had an amazing opportunity to take a small animal care class caring for animals like rabbits, lizards, and even mice. I absolutely LOVED it! To be able to have the opportunity to work with all types of different animals would be such a heartwarming experience.
