I work at a library and a doggy daycare. I love both my jobs and am pationate about reading, literacy, and animals in general.

I live in a condo with my boyfriend, our 4 cats, 2 leopard geckos, 4 fire belly toads, and 2 bettas.

I haven’t updated this is a while, so I’m overdue. I promise I’ll be talking about a few books later this week, but today I’m posting about an issue that I see all the time. I know many people who think cats magically train themselves. I have people tell me all the time “Wow, your [...]
