pretty much my life

#gettoknowme All things animals. former zookeeper, former zoo educator, current dog trainer, gamer extraordinaire./Kansas

2025/1/14 Edited to

As a former zookeeper and educator, I've had the privilege of working closely with a variety of animals, gaining valuable insights into their behaviors and needs. My transition to dog training has allowed me to apply this knowledge in a different context, enhancing the bond between dogs and their owners. Engaging in gaming alongside my professional journey has also offered a creative outlet, allowing me to connect with others who share similar interests, both in the animal kingdom and in the gaming community. The blend of these passions has enriched my life significantly. The Kansas landscape has served as a beautiful backdrop to my experiences. The diverse environments here provide both potential challenges and opportunities for trainers and pet enthusiasts alike. Through Lemon8, I aim to inspire others to cultivate their love for animals while sharing insights and tips that enhance your experiences. Whether you are a pet owner, an aspiring trainer, or merely curious about animal care, I invite you to join this adventure. Together, we can explore the nuances of animal training, share our experiences, and foster a community that celebrates our furry friends!

Stop Apologizing So Much & Say This Instead

Why do we say "sorry" for simply existing? For taking up space? For being human? Every time we apologize unnecessarily, we chip away at our confidence. It’s like telling the world, I don’t deserve to be here. But you DO. Your words matter. Your presence matters. Instead of shr

Nine white text bubbles list non-appearance compliments like 'I love how you make everyone feel included' and 'You always come up with the best ideas!', against a background of a person and a living room.
