Much like I have cared for children for years I care for animals. I believe animals are our babies. I have a beautiful Black Lab I have had for almost 17 years. My baby will have his birthday April 6th. "Well loved, Well lived". If you love your pets well they will live well. I have also had birds, and I have cared for cats too!
