Contemplating ideas for my writing projects - Randall M. Vasquez

I have been an animal lover since I could walk. I attended the Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology to become a Certified Veterinary Technician, and I have been working with pets and their people since receiving my degree in 1999. I help maintain the human-animal bond through client education. I am a regular contributor to several veterinary publications including the National Association for Veterinary Technicians of America journal as well as a Denver Pet Care Examiner at Examiner.com. I can be reached at avilaguevara.avilaguevara@gmail.com.
