I’ve been caring for pets for the past eight years including my (former feral) cat Pushka, and my dog Talisker (see above) who had a number of critical health issues.* So I’m comfortable with administering medication (other than injections).
Also, I’ve completed a Pet First Aid Course from St John’s Ambulance, a training course in the TTouch Method (a gentle hands-on technique for improving an animal's health and well-being), and am a volunteer dog walker at the Toronto Humane Society.
Additionally, at the Toronto Humane Society, I've been involved in many adoption events, training sessions in animal behaviour, and workshops like "playgroups" that encourage shelter dogs to socialise with one another.
As every pet owner knows, dogs and cats have unique personalities and, if they could talk, would have an intriguing tale to tell. When not caring for animals, I write pet “autobiographies” – picture books that tell a pet's life story from their point of view. Visit our sister site Keepsake Books to find out more.
Studies have shown that the average dog has the intelligence of a two-year old child. Whether you have a dog or a cat, I treat your pet as if I was babysitting a toddler – anticipating their needs, and keeping an eye on your furry family member at all times.

*Sadly, Talisker has passed away. She was an incredible dog. Some of her best pictures can be viewed on Pinterest.
