Growing up in rural Missouri, with a pet-loving family, I had no choice but to be surrounded by animals. Throughout my childhood we were never without at least one dog and a handful of cats. We also had a few less conventional pets from time to time, such as a chicken, a pig, and at one point, a pigeon with a broken wing that followed me home from school. I always loved all these animals and I can’t wait to meet your pets to share some of the same love with them!
