Hello, to start this off I am just going to talk about how I grew to love animals more than people. This starts with the fact that I owned and worked with animals all my life. My grandma has owned a dog grooming business since I was a little baby and I still work there 21 years later, along with my jobs at several shelters and kennels. Moreover, working with animals is all I really know and love doing. I tried several jobs at retail stores, working in an office, etc... and would find myself consistently arguing with the customers or coworkers, and as much as I would do so, I would never get fired, so I would just simply quit. So long story short, I try my best to avoid people at all costs because I have no patience whatsoever and if something stupid is said, I will not overlook that, mainly because I am a very opinionated person, so my best option is to be my own boss. Anyways, let's start back at the beginning, always working with animals is what caused me to pursue my undergraduate as a biology student, despite how much I hate some of the classes, I have one more year left, so I am pushing through. However, the plan was to go to veterinary school afterwards, but that no longer looks like it is in the books because if you did not know, veterinary school is a lot harder than medical school, and after taking a slight gap year, I gave up on my grades a little bit, and on top of all of that, there is a long wait list to even attend veterinary school.. So, instead of stressing myself out with all of that, I will just keep my small jobs with grooming dogs and helping them get adopted, because to even think about it, I do not think I could put an animal down anyways. Like I was driving home one day, and I almost hit a squirrel and cried. However, I also discovered that I do not really care when a person dies, I mean unless it is my best friend, but an animal death has a much bigger impact on me. When my first dog died, I was depressed for months, and would not leave my room for anything, and the only reason that got resolved months later is because I got another puppy. I really do think they are what keeps me sane in life. Also, attached below is 2/4 of my fur babies, I tend to own so many dogs because they are like the only things that bring me happiness and distract me from all the negative things in my life. Like when everything is going bad, I would just go home and take them on a 2-hour walk and there are no complaints about doing so. Thats what I appreciate the most is that you will never be judged, they will do whatever to please you. Like it is my dream to actually kill people who were involved in dog fighting or any type of animal cruelty, I am so happy it is illegal to do now. But anyways, dogs are one of the things that I use for my main coping mechanism, when everything is going bad, just one look at them, and everything gets much better.

I love the photos of your pups! Also, want a job grooming my dog? LOL But quite seriously, I can relate to your affinity for animals.
