I wanted to be a veterinarian, but alas, didn’t quite make the grade to my university of choice. UC Davis California. The year I applied they were only accepting 18 new students into their medical program.
Sooo, I got married instead and kept my own collection of animals and volunteered a lot for local wildlife rescues and other various animal related programs like doing bird counts for Cornell lab of Ornithology and rehabbing waterfowl, leading a poultry group for 4-H kids, etc. etc.
I often have the RTU on top of my fridge…the ’ rodent trauma unit’ saving the lives of cat caught rodents everywhere.
So far I haven’t had to put in a helicopter pad.
My now ex husband used to accuse me of loving my animals more than I loved him, it was true. lol
I also love to write and still do, working on my discipline now to actually FINISH what I start. haha
I’m content, no regrets. ;-)
