My appreciation of the animal world began with my father and mother who both grew up on farms. We’d visit my grandparents farm and my dad’s brother’s farms they had horses, cows, chickens and sheep. It was the best of times. Mom showed us how to feed baby sheep. Grow a garden. My dad loved animals. Such as bear, deer, bighorn sheep and polar bear. My parents travelled by camping from Alaska to Nova Scotia. Bringing back stories of animals they saw. Like a moose walking through their campsite in Jasper. My daughter would like to travel to Alaska now. She’s also a animal lover, has a dogs, cats, turtle on her farm. My hope for the future is to become monthly donor of various animal charities. The world is not the same place my parents grew up in. With help maybe we can bring it back.
