Born or Made?

I was only allowed small animals (hamsters/fish/anole) as a child but ALWAYS wanted a dog. Even as a tiny baby, my first phrase was "bye bye doggy". My parents tolerate animals but don't like them. Lol They wonder how I became such an animal lover.

I was defintely born an animal lover. From the time I could hold a crayon I was drawing dogs, cats, and lots of other animals. You could ask any of my teachers from kindergarten on and they'd say I was an animal nut. I drew animals on all my homework and I remember making little dogs and cats out of mud and giving it to a teacher ha ha.

I've been crazy about wolves as long as I can remember and always dreamed of having my "wolf-dog" which turned out to be huskies. I was sick a lot as a child so I couldn't really play that much with other kids so my mom got me a dog when I was two - Smokey the poodle. He turned out to be her shadow, not really "my" dog but I still loved him.

We were never allowed any pets besides dogs and I had a few fish so I don't know too much about small animals/birds. Honestly I have no desire to ever have any of them as pets (no offense to anyone) they are just not for me. I've pet-sat some birds and guinea pigs before and my sister had a hamster so I have a little experience with them. I've always thought lizards were neat but I'm not sure I'd get them. I don't dislike pets besides dogs/cats I'd just much rather have dogs or maybe cats. I do really like cats too, they are a lot of fun, but considering I'll probably always have huskies I'm not sure I'll ever have a cat. I kind of have a paranoia of them peeing in the house all the time because it seems I read/hear about that happening a lot too, more than dogs it seems, but I don't know for sure. I think it would be cool to have a horse or a goat, but I don't know anything about them, maybe down the road if I had a lot of land. Right now I don't want any more pets, period, four dogs is more than enough. All in all, I'm definitely a dog person.

Wolves have ALWAYS been my absolute favorite animal (besides my dogs ) My absolute dream job was to be a wolf biologist <3 Such gorgeous amazing creatures.

Growing up on a farm I have had cows, horses, pigs, ducks, geese, rabbits, dogs, cats. Now we have hamsters and birds, fish, hermit crabs, gecko, rabbits and cats.
I love them all. Each one is special.
My heart has always been pulled to the huge cats, tigers and lions, snow leopards. How I wish I would have dedicated my life to them.
