Growing up my family was never without 2 or 3 dogs (and cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc...); however, I currently am owned by two ferrets and therefore, can't have a dog in the house! (this is why I'm living vicariously through you). I am a 4th grade teacher at St. James the Less and absolutely love animals - I believe we are called to be stewards and know I am on this earth for that exact reason! (the pictures are of my ferrets, Oliver and Pockhit, and also a few of my dogs through the years).
