I grew up with pets until I moved out of my childhood home. We had a variety of pets: birds, fishes, dogs, cats, lizards, mantis and rabbits. Also, here in Australia, I was on a cattle farm and enjoyed working with animals very much (dogs, cats, chickens, cows and horses). Sometimes, they are your best friends, the ones to cuddle, listen to you, and share lots of enjoyable moments. So far away from home, not having a stable living situation, I'm thrilled to look after other pets in the meantime....
