Day-to-day at Pets Alive

i am a new member to this site but have been browsing it for a few days. i have just learned at age 25 what i want to be when i grow up. i work at a vet hospital in cincinnati, ohio and i came across the emotional "not left behind" book.... i was so intrigued and overwhelmed at what bestfriends is all about and i have my new career goal in life. i am moving back to my hometown, chicago, next year to persue my vet tech degree. when i graduate in 2010, ill be 28 and i will be heading to Utah to start my career at this wonderful place. my passion is being with these animals and loving each one. i have an 18 year old minature long haired daschund who i have had since he was 6 weeks old. he is dying of chronic renal failure and it is the hardest thing i have ever had to go through in my life. when he is ready to return to God, i know he will be with me when i give my love to other animals for the rest of my life. i am a HUGE HUGE HUGE rob thomas fan, his music has saved my life, literally. i have even prayed for marisol when she was ill. i hope to be in utah soon to finally start my life the way i know now God wants me to!!! and i WILL meet rob thomas sometime in my life, he is my savior, even if it is while i am cleaning poo!!! :) thank you for all you do there!

much love and appreciation,
