I always brought home strays and other animals.  I was lucky on the
animal issue.  It is a passion I got from my grandmother.  We use to go
for long walks in the woods looking at all the different animals growing
up.  My sister & myself made our grandfather rescue a toad from the
outhouse once.  I think I was 8 then an my sister was 6.  I've always
been around animals and learned young what was needed to care for them
properly.
