I grew up with animals, worked at a pet store from 16-18 then at 18 I started working full time and trained /cared for marine mammals for 16 years. I was a full time trainer, administered medications and managed the staff. I quit so I could spend more time with my kids. Currently I own 4 cats, 2 dogs and a rabbit. I love animals. I'm also first aid/cpr trained for humans and live walking as I also work as a fitness instructor .
