Well while I'm writing this I can't help to think about Austin Powers or Interview with a Vampire, because I think of the line "where do I begin?" "I was born, I grew up."  Funny. Anyway, I started my working career in dentistry, more specifically Dental Assisting, I did that for 11 yrs and as you may have guessed there is a very low glass ceilling so I went back to college and pursued the Dental Hygiene route and mind you I am a 4.0 student and I was not able to complete Hygiene after my first year because I did not know how to hold my tongue, little dental humor, therefore I returned to College that same semester and received my Bachelors in Health Science, Magna Cum Laude, from Campbell University. 

I tell you this story because after all this money and time invested into education, as for my situation, was a waste of time and money. I have never worked in my Health Science background due to what I am told lack of work experience? I had to go back to my JOB as a dental assistant so I could pay my student loans because the bills won't wait as we all know.  But I have found something that has given me hope!

I do not work for anyone anymore. There is no boss to make me feel worthless and belittle me on a daily basis. Let me first tell you about my mission before I get to my incredible discovery of freedom.

My Mission is to help animals, they are so helpless and inocent and so, I have a serious situation where I rescue dogs. I now have 10 dogs and 4 cats and I need an income to support my four legged children because I will not give them away, considering the situation I found them in. I have had my first dog since I moved to NC 14 years ago and now that most of them are old and have health problems and lucky for me I have a health degree I have chosen to feed them real food, yes I do cook for them every day, Me and a Holistic Dr. have come up with a meal plan that helps all my aging dogs. I have one dog with Hypothyroid, one with Pancreatitis and one who sadly died of Megaesophagus and he was the one who made me realize that something needed to be done. It was not to long after my decision to change their food when the nation had a real scare and a lot of animals were dying due to what was in dog food. I believe things happen for a reason and early in my dog guardianship I did give them one of the brands of dog food that was on the list of poisonous foods and it was one of the well known brands thought to be safe.

Today there is a complete transformation in their appearance, the dog with Pancreatitis has not thrown up in months and the dog with Hypothyroid is more active, she is also on synthyroid just like humans, both of us have the same thing, Hypothyroid. 

My Blog is under construction so I have to leave you all in suspense in the not so distant future I will refer you to my new Blog so you can get some tips on how to care for your animals very easily and how I am able to afford time over money and stay home with them.  I wanted to get my story out and there is no better time like the present, until next time,
