Today on the podcast we’re talking about how sometimes entertaining people with animals is OKAY! What the animal is used for is far less important than how they are cared for.

What resulted from her creative persistence and her TRUELY listening to and understanding the concerns of her supervisor is the picture below.

Listen in to hear how she did it!
