Audrey, Why not a vet? It's hard work and requires a lot of sacrifice while you're in school but it will pay off in the future. And then you'll have more options and opportunities in your life to help and have animals. There is a great vet school near my hometown: Cornell University. You could visit Duncan and I on the weekends!!
Think about it at least...
Oh, what I wouldn't give to be young, making these decisions again...(I would do it right the second time around!)
