We called my mother Dr. Doolittle because she fed so many animals. We had two dogs in the house, cats that were indoor/outdoor/barn cats, and horses. At one time there were three dogs. My mother also fed a flock of wild turkeys, the horses next door, and other assorted wild animals. She has always been an animal person. She had dogs growing up and my father had a dog as a child.

Even though my parents are in their 80's they still must have a dog to make their life complete.
