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.
