Experience with animals and own pets
To talk briefly about my interaction with my pets, would be to start off by mentioning I currently have a 7 year old male cat (Monster) and a 1 year old female teacup Toy Pom (Biscuit).
To me, my pets are not pets but rather my babies - Biscuit is my little angle and I try and involve her in as much of my life as possible. My time spent with her involves me taking her to the park or for a walks regularly, grooming and bathing her, and lots of time playing outside. All responsibility is mine as she is my dog.
My interaction with other animals has been very similar, looking after other people’s pets has involved play time, feeding and caring for them.
When I was younger we had many different pets - dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish, ducks and a tortoise. My family has always been a huge lover of animals, so my upbringing was always filled with loving memories of animals.

Thank you so much Kirsten. My doggies were in such good hands and also for allowing them to sleep in bed with you.
