Without a Doubt
My love for animals began as a little girl. I grew up on 40 acres of fields and woods. I had a special place in the field I would escape to where there was wide trench in the field with a crab apple tree at it's edge. I would go there and sit in the crab apple tree and envision all the animals of the forest coming out and rejoicing with me and just enjoy the presence of each unique creature. It filled my heart with joy as well as theirs. I would beg my father for a horse, but he would sternly shoot that notion down telling me to get that idea out of my head. My father grew up on a farm and had to take care of the livestock, so as an adult, he wanted no part of it. He would only allow for domesticated animals. We had a dog, a couple cats, a few rabbits, and a couple of hamsters. I had a few dogs in my days and they all have a very special place in my heart. My volunteer efforts have always been with dog rescues and horses. Each dog was so special in their own unique way.
