I grew up with a border collie and spent many days running along the beach chucking a ball for her. This is where I developed a love for dogs and their beautiful nature. I was lucky to have a gran that did sheep dog trials! We were at hers as much as possible helping out with her farm dogs and playing with any new puppies. Since then I have spent time looking after friend's dogs, which has been a treat as my job didn't used to allow me to have a dog permanently. Recently I have found myself with some extra time and so I thought what better a thing to do than seek out work where I am have a furry companion and exercise at the same time. Recently been looking after the neighbours cat when it pops by! Now I have a huge soft spot and have seen just how affectionate and clever they are.
