High School Lab :)

I came across this picture while playing around on goolge. The dog in this picture is Cali. She belonged to the Special Education teacher at my high school and came to school everyday. I remember seeing her in the hallway from time to time. She was a very sweet and calm dog. Everyone loved her. Here is the link to the article that the picture came from. http://www.deltasociety.org/Page.aspx?pid=388

My Life with Animals

I am connected to animals because I grew up with them all my life. Mostly I grew up with dogs. My dad had a Rottweiler when I was born. She became my best friend until she had to be put down when I was five. I was unable to have any more pets until I was twelve because my dad is in the military; having a pet and moving around can be very difficult. When I was twelve I was given a Jack Russell Terrier. Then I got a Brittany- Border Collie mix and a Beagle mix. Other animals I have handled were a Red- Eared Slider (a turtle), a guinea pig, and I believe a fat tailed gecko. For a couple of years I rode horses and a local stable where I was living then. When I was a senior in high school I volunteered in a local vet clinic for six or so months. Then right now I have a very adorable 4 month old puppy. I am not sure what she is exactly but by the looks of her, she is either part Australian Sheppard or Blue Healer. My life wouldn't be the same if I can't have animals in it.
