I have worked with, lived with and cared for animals all my life; I spent years on a ranch in Texas with every kind of livestock, ranging from chickens to goats to cows to horses. I have experience with every kind of rodent. Exotic animals: snakes, minks, ferrets, etc. The classic dogs and cats and fish. Some experience with birds. I have a deep love of life and everything that falls under this category :) Animals are at ease with me, as my philosophy is never to push them, but to let them come to me.
