How Did I Become a Pet Parent?

We had a dog when I was growing up and I loved her, but my mom was her person. So, I wasn’t responsible for her. Then I grew up, went to college, went to graduate school and joined the real world. I was married to my job. No husband, no children, no pets – no time….

Things changed after I lost my dad and needed someone to love. And I’ve learned a lot about work life balance (for the first time ever). I’ve learned about selflessness and cleaning up poop and vomit at all times of the day and night. I’ve learned about resources for busy pet parents. I’ve learned about allergies and illness. I’ve learned about grooming and training. And pet photographers.
