I also have a lifelong fascination with animals- I went to carnivals and local fairs to go to the petting zoos while everyone else my age was riding rides and playing games. Then, I read "All Creatures Great and Small" by James Herriott - and my future was set. When people ask me what I do I don't say: "I'm a veterinarian," I say: "I am an Animal Doctor." I am an Animal Doctor because it is what I was born to be, and I feel very fortunate to live that dream every day. . "Ballet makes me weep, pets make me smile" .
