Hello! I have always had cats and dogs since the age of 5. My childhood dog was an incredibly smart mutt (part springer spaniel/part? We never really knew for sure). My first cat lived to be 17 and was my first real furbaby. I also had an Akita who lived to be 11. She was amazing and taught me so much about raising a dog. Currently my husband and I have a Bernese Mountain Dog and 2 tabby cats. We trained our cats to use the toilet! And well, the dog, she's a little too uncoordinated for that. :-p We love all animals (with the exception of snakes). We are a work-from-home family with a 1 year old son and I am looking for some part time work to not only get out of the house for a bit, but to also help out our fellow neighbors and their furbabies!
