Introduction: I treat animals better than most people treat their own kids. I care for them all like they are my own. I've have 10 years zoo experience working with Goats, Sheep, Reptiles, Deer, Kangaroo, Koi and Small Mammals. As for Dogs & Cats other than your basic "I've owned them" I worked at a dog kennel/daycare for 5 years from handler to GM.
I have training and only enforce positive reinforcing. I look at everything through their eyes and will not put them second; their needs are always first! If i get home they get let out and eat before i do either of those things.
The look and body language animals give you when they know you love them...NOTHING better!
