Always having a loving relationship with an animal growing up to me was of utmost importance, and was why I was allowed to house/adopt/buy some of my own! As well as doing a personal study on the effects of abuse/homelessness on domesticated animals, most of my animals in the past have been rescue with some trauma issues (anxiety etc., nothing violent) so I am fully equipped in gentle but firm discipline regarding things such as separation issues, unnecessary barking, scratching, spraying, nibbling (NOT biting!), weeing inside, underwear biting etc. and have also made many 100% natural and safe solutions out of herbal and floral extracts for pet stains, odour removal etc.! Animals truly seem to run to me the second I see them - the cat that "hates everyone" will soon be purring asleep in my lap, the dog that won't let you touch its stomach will wag its tail and turn over when it sees me approaching - probably because most people refer to me as a "big gold retriever"!. I would say that my only flaw would be that I am sometimes too cautious and can worry excessively over a small bump thinking it is a tick etc., but apart from that I am very excited for cuddles with your furry friend great or small.
