I have always keep pets all though my life, even as a young girl and have always took great care of them and loved them to bits. My children too have always been told how to care properly for all the animals we have had, although they have better things to do with they time now.I take care of them solo. Saying that I have a 4year old that is now showing interest. The times that I enjoy most is hours spent down the shed cleaning and grooming, can't think of anything better. They are a few people that do think I've gone potty! and there is better things they could do with they time. But each to they own. I'm very happy.
