A Little Bit About Me, My Family, & My Pets

I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, so did most of the relatives we’d visit when I was growing up. I was always drawn to the whatever pets were present anywhere we went. Every picture in my mom’s old photo albums features me holding or nearby some type of animal. What’s even more remarkable is that I still remember most of them like it was yesterday and can recall pet names far better than I can recall the names of the people I’ve met.

So what does that say about me? Well, I like to think it just says I’m an animal person. Had I had the stomach for blood, I’d have been a vet. As a matter of fact, I was convinced that was my life’s calling until I went on a field trip in the sixth grade and tossed my cookies while watching a German Shepherd getting his teeth cleaned. I realized, standing next to the coke machine while sipping on a soda the teacher bought me to sooth my riled stomach, that becoming a vet probably wasn’t in the cards for me.

So while I didn’t become a vet (or a zoo curator or any of the other animal-related jobs that seemed really, really cool as a kid) I have had a lifetime of pets and they continue to be a huge part of my life (and now of my kids’ lives as well). If nothing else, I have managed to pass down a sincere love and respect for animals to my own children. I suspect animals will continue to play a large role in their lives as well.
