Hello! I am originally American. I have loved animals -- all of them -- since I was a baby! My mom can tell you so many (sometimes embarrassing) stories about how I was just drawn to them. I even went to pre-school on a farm! Don't ask me if I'm a cat vs. dog lover because I cannot decide, they're too different and both species are so special!!! I grew up with cats, but I currently have a dog named Rigley. I must say the Australian government makes it nearly impossible to bring your loved pet with you when you migrate to this country, but I jumped through all the hoops (and paid up the hefty sum) to make sure Riggles came with me. When I adopted him, it was forever. :)...
