As far as I can remember our family always had pets. A dog and at least one cat, usually more. In elementary school I had two hamsters, not at the same time, and after them two mice, rescued from being snake dinner. I always loved that I was surrounded by animals, and miss my (our) dog and cat dearly. As I am from Hungary, they're quite far away. We have a Hungarian deer-hound, Zsálya (her name means Sage) and a regular house cat, Károly (the Hungarian version of Charles), and also some chickens and two ducks and fishes in the pond. Our dog is really energetic, and this is an understatement, so we have to take her to regular walks to maintain her, and our sanity. I wouldn't say that I am an expert trainer, far from that, but I try my best, she has a mind of her own. To sum up, I don't have any qualifications, just 21 years of experience of living with pets, but I would love to be around animals again.
