Why NOW is the best time to Work With Animals
Have you ever thought it would be really awesome to work with animals? If you answered yes, Me too!
It was 17 years ago that I had this thought and took it seriously. I ws 6 years into my chosen adulting profession in the banking and finance industry and hating every second of it.
So I decided to take my childhood love of animals seriously and put in my two weeks notice to start my own pet business. It’s now my 17th year in busienss and I can honestly say it was the BEST decision I ever made.
I allowed me to be home with my two kids. It helped my husband get out of his work rut. It gave me the choice of work freedom and a freedom of creativity I never would have gotten anywhere else.
