Hello from Lakeland, Florida

Hello everyone,

I joined THS in February as a pet sitter and am very excited to be here. It is so interesting reading all of the comments and being part of this community.

I am retired from the military of 23 years. I had some wonderful travels, met a lot of people during my time and when I retired, I returned to my home state of Florida. Being a part of THS allows me to travel, spend time with amazing animals, and connect with people of diverse backgrounds.

Looking forward to great topics,

Sharon
