Fascinated by a topic, but clueless? Begin your education with a free pdf ebook!

In a recent conversation with a friend, I learned that she had held a long-standing desire to work with animals in a healing occupation. I'd known that all her life, she'd been the one neighbors and virtual strangers would come to with pets who were ill, or simply in need of a home. They could always count on her to help. She said that, at one point in her life, her reputation had spread to the point where she was caring for six dogs, eighteen kitties, a spider monkey and three birds! While she eventually nursed them back to health, found them good homes or whatever was required, the venture became overwhelming and she was forced to put on the brakes.

She also said that she'd once had an opportunity to join the Peace Corps, travel to Australia and receive training as a veterinarian over a 6-year educational program all on government funding. She was then eighteen. I ended up getting married instead and having kids! She never did realize her lifelong dream. Now in her mid-fifties, she had given up hope.
