“Balancing school with giving the needed TLC (tender, love and care) to some many animals has always been a part of my routine. Everyday I come home and feed my five cats, do my boat loads of homework, and do the best I can to divide my attention evenly. But I’ve always had pets, so there really isn’t much change. It’s static in a shifting way, and life with about a dozen pets can be hectic. It leads to a lot of chaos and confusion, but it’s always moving, and that’s much better than standing still. So I’ll keep chasing tails and collecting feathers and furry friends for as long as I live. That’s a core part of me that I don’t think can be changed.”
