I'm a man with the heart of an animal! If you love animals, you'll know what I mean...
|
Aside from growing up with dogs and cats and caring for them and their litters, I have been the dad of 10 furry family members for the past 20+ yrs.; 5 cats (currently 2) and 5 dogs (German Short haired Pointer - currently 2). My true passion in life is being with animals, learning about them (behaviour, language), caring for them, educating people about them, to name a few. Over the years, I've spend a lot of time caring for some of them because of illnesses, surgeries, etc. In July of 2015, I lost my old girl of 16 yrs old. She required a lot of medical care, medication, therapy for her last few years, so I have lots of experience in looking after animals that have health issues. I have looked after friend's cats and dogs either at my place or theirs while they were away. I have taken training in animal behaviour and training and worked along a professional in that field. I have a certification in Small Animal Massage Therapy, which includes various form of massages, acupressure, first aid, rehabilitation. I also volunteered for a dog rescue group for nearly 2 years, which included rescuing, transporting, fostering, home checks for the organization. In short, I love animals more than I like people!
