If she has Animal Massage Certification (which she does) then there should be nothing stopping her from reopening her practice. Vet's make enough money, they probably won't even notice.

She was probably accused with offering "happy endings".

While I'm finding out this for the first time, I think its absurd that people have these and other type endeavors to "pamper" pets. This world is so f**ked up and there is so much "human suffrage" that to go and put pets first and people second is in my opinion ludicrous.You know if other people, especially those who spend money on this crap, concentrated more on taking care of people who needed it in the world, this world would be a lot more friendlier place and the suffering of animals i'm thinking would be considerably less in turn.That's why my moto is PEOPLE before PETS. I'll never donate to a animal rights or animal charity when there are plenty of human ones to choose from.Same thing goes for adoptions, adopt locally before going abroad, because there are plenty of good ole kids from your own country that are in need.
