    How can you be very realistic about

    the question “from the infancy to the age of

    25? ” with

    your info.

    I abandon everything for

    a career in animal behavior research in favor of a

    career

    in animal behavior BTW, I abandoned everything because of animal behavior.

    wouldn’t be a poor choice, as it’s ambiguous and it could mean that your dog chased you out of the house.-) Also,

    watch your grammar: What’s

    sounds better ->what –> sounds better.
