I like this layout - it's nice and clean - I like the pattern in the letters and the use of lots of photos. I love your journaling and how you wrote it to your daughter so she'll hear your voice talking to her when she looks back on this page years from now.
The background paper and paper mats under your photos are perfect for your layout, especially given its animal-centered theme. Their neutral, earthy tones allow your photos to shine. Bless your sweet daughter! I too hope she will always love and care for animals.
