I love animals. I'm constantly trying to figure out how to make a career out of petting them and loving them. And don't suggest becoming a vet because I don't want to ever see them in pain. I've thought about being an animal rights activist (poli sci + love for animals) but I'm not sure that I'm extreme enough. I could never be a hunter and I really dislike hunting, but I still think you have a right to hunt, just don't talk to me about it. I think its awful that some cultures condone eating dogs, for example, but I recognize that it is cultural and people have a right to their cultural inheritance. I just can't picture a moderate animal rights activist. By definition they seem extreme. An animal handler might be fun, but I wouldn't want to ever make them do something they don't want to, which again, could be problematic. I guess I need to find a celebrity who wants someone to just love their pet for them while they are away and want to pay me a lot to do that. There is something just so sweet about animals. I'm enamored by their nature and fun personalities. I could talk forever about animals. So I'll just post this video and say I'm envious of this ladies profession.

I so agree! Ever since getting Pocket (who I didn't even want since I didn't care for animals, she was supposed to be Mike's dog, but then her cute babyness made me fall head over heels for her) I feel like a whole new "animal loving" side of me has emerged! To the point where I have considered joining PETA (but like you said, too extreme, I do like my steak) and I get a little teary eyed when the animal abuse commercials come on. But I just don't know what to do. I keep telling Michael that my dream is to have a huge piece of land someday so that we can take in a bunch of strays and just let them roam in same territory.
A few weeks ago after watching a video of a pet hotel, I told Alan that's what I wanted to do/own/run. I don't think he was impressed. :-)
so there is no overnight kennel (not attached to a vet) in utah county ladies, do you want to go into business with me? the only down side i see is the 365/24/7 aspect of it all and that is why we could all take turns:)
You are funny. I did like your idea about being an animal sitter for famous people.
