I work at a chain pet store... I'm in the pet care department. I work mostly in reptiles and fish, but do whatever they need me to.

:) I've been there for about a year and seen many, many, many positive changes.

I don't work in the Pet Industry

I have had pets through out my life ... gold fish, tropical fish, turtles, mice, rats, piegons, dogs, cats and even a snake.

Now, I have a gold fish, two tropical fish and two Leopard Geckos.

I am a California Certified Public Accountant (CPA) that specializes in Taxes for Small Businesses, Individuals, Corporations, S Corporations, Partnerships, LLCs, and Trusts. I have done a few Estate Tax Returns, Sales Tax Returns, Property Tax Returns and even some Excise Tax Returns.

I am also a Certified Financial Planner (CFP).

I went to college and now I take continuing professional education courses to keep me up to date.

And when Tax Season comes February to April 15th, I will not be on the Forum all of the time cause I will be busy.:main_laugh:

There is always a lot to learn in what ever you may do. Just try to do your best and learn as much as you can and work hard and ... you will be successful.

I'm a mom (= jane of all trades, mistress of none?) and a medical assistant. I'm getting back into school for nursing; eventually I'll be at least an acupuncturist, or an ND (naturopathic doctorate) if I have my way about it! :D

I apparently have this weird, deep-seated urge to take care of things that need help.
Now if I could only do it with just a little more grace...

i work for a certain big chain pet store with a bouncing red ball as a pet care lead. it's a fun job but you really get to see the darker side of pet owning. some people are just so dead set in "caring" for animals in a way that obviously does not work so well to say the least.

taking care of animals and helping people find the right pet or product is rather fulfilling though. the store where i work really has the best interest of the animals in mind, i couldn't stand working somewhere where animals came second to profits.

Haha. I think thats everything. :2thumbsup:

Otherwise prior to this I had an office job. *GAG* Best jobs I've ever had were at stables. I miss it:(

I would love to see Killer Whales, working with them would be a dream come true to me too. I have always had such a facination with them. I think they are so beautiful.

Haha, I wouldn't mind seeing them. ^^ I love babies, they are always so exciting. I should definitely stay up to date with the baby news. I am looking forward to being a mother myself some day. . :main_yes:

Working with killer whales. Wow that would be great. I just cant swim very well. Haha I guess thats why I picked horses. Haha

Well here is the lil bugger. Next doc visit We find out if its a boy or girl. I like this one the best because you can see the arm buds, legs and the outline of the baby. Its a head on shot.

I make and sell dog collars and necklaces online and locally for small breeds, and I'm currently designing ones for larger breeds. I was even approached yesterday to design a harness for reptiles and small animals, well see how that goes.
