My name is Kristen and I am 21 years old. The first dog I owned was our family dog. We got him when I was 2. I didn't learn what really caring for him meant until I was around 10. I learned to walk him, feed him, make sure he was healthy and happy. His name was Snickers. He passed away about 4 years ago. My fiancé and I got my dog Rita a little over a year ago. She is 3 years old and has separation anxiety so I know what it is like to handle that. She is a loving little girl. A few months ago, we got our second dog Rory because we felt that Rita needed a friend. They love each other and get along great. I am a great dog caretaker because I love animals and treat all of them as if they were my own. I'm very good at telling what their emotions are. Some fun things the dogs do are go outside and play ball, fetch, or just chase each other around!
