I've been surrounded by animals all of my life. My Father insisted that we all learn as much as we could about pets, because our pets teach us so much about life and death, compassion, loyalty, responsibility and love. He was a good teacher, and so I am very experienced with Cats, Dogs, Horses, Genny Pigs, Rabbits, Chickens (every variety), Birds, Fish, and various types of Wildlife, Skunks, Opossums, Pea Hens and Peacocks, and Raccoons.
