Question 6

Are there specific animals you don’t work with?

Accepted Answer

While I love all animals, I only work with small- and medium-sized cats and dogs. Let’s talk and see if you, your pet, and I are a good fit.

Question 7

Do you have pets?

Accepted Answer

Although I grew up with pets, I no longer have them because as a woman who is retired, I want to leave Michigan’s gray skies, snow, and cold temperatures for two to three months in the winter. If you are retired, you understand. I've learned that people who have rental property do not want our four-legged companions occupying their homes, so I get my dog and cat fix by loving on the pets of others.
 
I have loved several furry family members in my lifetime. There was Jingles, our indomitable cat, who slept with me nightly. My parents hosted an orange mama cat who had kittens while she lived with us. We named them Eeny, Meeny, Miny, and Moe; three orange and one black. Peppi Sox, a Boston Terrier, was a delight. She was smart and we laughed watching her catching waves in Peconic Bay on Long Island. So many wonderful memories and I admit to being emotional thinking about the love and memories we shared.
