Value Outside Work

My favorite things to do as a kid were. . .
Spend time with all kinds of animals. I had a dog, cat, fish, rabbits, turtle, iguana, ferret, chinchilla, and exotic birds as pets. We rescued and released a baby opossum, raccoon, and crow. I also remember as a kid touching alligators, snakes, stingrays, sharks, an elephant, a hippo, giraffes, and baby nutria.

As a big kid, I like to. . .
See my kids enjoy animals as much as I do. We only have a dog, fish, hermit crabs, and a bat house at home, but we find ways to encounter as many animals as possible and learn how we can help them. 

One of the things I hope to do. . .
Is see my kids have a positive impact on the people and animals around them. Petting a baby tiger cub would be pretty awesome too!
