My final decision is that I’m divided for two careers "veterinary" and "pharmaceutical" I
changed my decision because the clients can use you during the weekend then I could not
be stress-free.

But in a certain way, I feel admiration for various famous veterinarians like, Susanne morrow, Debbie turner,
James Herriot.

If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off
than a lot of humans.

Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.

I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully
sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love.

I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a
child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs.

I wish people would realize that animals are totally dependent on us, helpless, like children, a trust
that is put upon us.
