A post between animal posts.


Hi, everyone, this is a post not talking directly about animals, but it's still somewhat concerning them. Besides, I also need a short break from doing research and asking around for information for a few days.

For those who are wondering why I'm doing this kind of interactive blog is mainly because it's a passion of mine ever since I first started learning on how to read. I remembered when I was in first grade and I've asked my mom what she thought about me being a vet or an animal behavior specialist.

Sadly, as life moved on, I turned out to be a fine art graduate and became an English teacher in Taiwan, then one day I realized that those aren't my primary interest in life, so I quit my job and then moved to Vancouver with my husband. Here, I've found out a very pleasant and bright place called the Vancouver Aquarium, once I learned about this place, I decided to give it a visit. It was right there during the dolphin show in a bright sunny afternoon I've put my foot down and decided to become a volunteer right at that moment. Simply put, I have found where my heart lies. At first Johnny, my husband, didn't understand why I would spend my time volunteering, but after explaining to him that being a volunteer is a honorable thing to do and it is also a way to give back to the community, then he slowly turned from a skeptic to supportive.

Today, I have happily and contently been a volunteer for a bit more than a year now, and trust me, it's a dream come true in a personal point of view, I hope I could do something more for the animals and perhaps the environment by building and running a web page.

So, once again, enjoy and please don't be shy by sharing your knowledge and experiences with and about animals, I will be more than glad to read and post them out for everyone to share. Most of all, questions and requests about animals are more than welcome. Cheers!

Tammy
