I am an ardent pet lover who has had pets all my life - both cats & dogs. I come from a pet crazy family and the trait of rescuing animals has been passed down to us by my dad - there were times that we had not less than 7 - 8 dogs and 14 cats. looking after these pets was always the duty of the kids. I today have a rescued Cocker Spaniel - she has been with me for the last 3 years
