Hi Marielos,

- About Me:
- I am a frustrated veterinary as I couldnt control my fobia for worms (go figure...!!!). I love animals, specially dogs and I do know I can be a little nuts about it, but I am proud to have this obsession I have for dogs.
I am from Nicaragua, Central America...where people really dont treat animals with much respect and I try my best to educate people...and at least, make people respect them.
- What is one thing your dog does that reminds you to open your heart and love more deeply?
- Applehead comes to anybody and humbles kisses them and gives them all the love he has to give...regardless of who you are.
