    That is very impressive, CountryWolf. Nice job.


    I own my own business, a grooming shop and boarding kennel.

    I have a degree in Accounting, however, and used to work as a financial analyst.

    I'm not sure what I'll do in the future. Whatever strikes my fancy at the time, I suppose.

    Good job, Rachel!! That looks so awesome.

    Hmm...I'm not sure. I know I want to be involved with dogs, preferably Collies. Maybe have my own line of merchandise involving my photography of Collies. It's a big dream, but I'm that kind of girl who likes to make and sculpt her own things, so it just might work out.

    That's awesome Rachel!!

    I'd LOVE to open a Doggy Daycare/Grooming/Training...also offer Pet Portraits/Photography and sell other dog related gifts. I'd also love to have an area set up for adoptable rescue dogs.

    However, unless I find some rich person who wants to donate losts of money to my cause, it's not happening.

    I'm currently working as a Bath and Brusher at Petco. I'm debating on whether or not to become a Groomer. The pay is better, but I don't think I would enjoy it as much.

    I'm going to school, maybe I'll get a degree in art. I'm not sure. I LOVE art, but it's not an easy business to get in to.

    I've also considered a Vetrinary Tech or Assistant. The school that offers the degree here is expensive so I'm not sure about that right now. If I'm going to go broke for something, I want to be positive it's what I want to do.

    By the looks of it I'll still be poor and living with my parents for a long time...

    I am a radiologic technologist.
    And Molly working in a hospital nothing ever goes the same way twice either!
    I would love to groom animals or do something with them. When I got my first dog Shaianne she made me realize that helping them are my passion.
    Or open a book store/coffee shop sometime. But that's only in my dreams.

    I have no idea what I want to do other then something that involves animals. I was kinda thinking Vet Tech, or I thought it would be really neat to work at a zoo.

    I'm currently in university studying nothing inparticular..lol..and I'm working in a bar/kitchen help. Hopefully business at the kennel picks up so I can go back to that

    Nice cover, I'm impressed.

    I am a software tester.

    I like what I do, it is really challenging sometimes and requires me to know a fair amount. I also get to learn new things all the time. I really like that.

    Not really sure what I would really like to do. I sometimes would like to have a job with less responsibility and stress, but I would probably get bored.

    I want to open a sanctuary for the kinds of reptiles that people buy as "Cute widdle babies" than then grow up to be hard to manage. Think iguanas, moitor lizards, and large snakes.

    I would also try to do things like offer tours of the sanctuary to educate people about WHY these types of pets aren't appropriate for most people. (Although I know there are at least three very happy PT iggies!!)

    I know that odds are something like that wouldn't bring in a whole lot of money, but I think it's worth working towards.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Not really sure.

    Photography is something that's definitly going to be in my future.

    I've been asked to do alot of graphic type things, so mabey something related to what you want to do. I've even done a CD cover for a local band before.

    I work at a bookstore...always wanted to...because I can't imagine my life without books.
    In the last years I've published a few short stories in a magazine, but that meant too little money to really earn a living. (So I'm always glad I have that job in the bookstore!)
    Since the beginning of this year I've started to work on my first novel, it's very time consuming, but I love it...

    Most important thing in whatever you do is, hold on to your dreams...there's only one life to live so live it to the fullest!!!

    I love your work and the cover design...WOW!!!

    Beautiful cover. You are very talented.

    I am an implementation specialist. Which actually means I configure and install point of sale computer systems in sporting arenas, airports, casinos, hotels, restautants, that kind of thing. I do a great deal of traveling which sounds much more glamorous than it actually is. You rarely get to see much of the city you are working in.

    I would love to work as an animal behaviorist in a shelter environment, but since the pay in animal care is limited it is probably just a dream.

    I'm a chemist; I've worked for an adhesive company, a paper company, industrial fluids, and now pharmaceuticals. My "if I win Megamillions" dream is to go to vet school (although I don't know if I could get in at my age. ) At the very least I'd like to be a tech so I can learn how to heal the animals.

    The other possibility is to become a cat behaviorist. I'm not sure how it happened, but I seem to be able to tame our rescue group's hard cases and get them to be adoptable.
