And not turn into full time work. :)
Hubby and I had a long talk last night. We are looking at our 10 year plan and frankly, it does not involve me having my weekends eaten up by my furry friends. I realized I do enjoy animals, rescuing, adoption, home placement but doing this full time now has made me realize I don't like it full time. And I am grateful I realized it now before I got much deeper.
The plan is to keep it going for established clients, since it looks like my holiday season will be lucrative and pursue some other interests as far as career wise. This is huge for me because I don't think I ever considered anything else but I also have to be honest with myself. We have decided once the pets we have are gone, no more for us. We can still contribute to rescues and help out but we both have had pets our entire lives. We want to find a small place at the beach to own- just a 1 bed condo or townhouse or even shack and then move closer to the city into something smaller once the DS is grown. This is huge for me because, as you know from my posts, I am a HUGE animal lover but after some serious talks with myself and hubby, I am not into the whole pet care business thing as much as I thought.
I have other interests in healthcare, on the health and wellness side, as well as getting back to my degree in athletic training. I want something outside the normal desk mode, that keeps me active as I head into the second act of my life.
I was also thinking about the physical side of chasing animals, hauling food, cleaning up,- the physicality of it. It's not something I want to do. I don't mind with my own pets but doing all that full time is not peaking my interest. The health and wellness path will keep me physically active enough and in a way I like. If that makes sense????
