I do not have children, well...not the 2 legged kind :) I have had animals my entire life, at the moment I have 4 cats (one is a foster for a cat rescue I work with). I will be studying Zootherapy this summer as I truly believe animals can heal the mind and soul. We need them as much as they need us. QUOTE: "A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of the animals and the creatures on this earth".
