What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
When we slow down and sit in presence with other beings, our connections strengthen and our desire to act compassionately and in the interests of other beings will grow like a seed along the riverbank. With patience this too can become a beautiful flower.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
