Do you have pets? If so, what kind and what are their names? Tell us about their personalities.
I have a dog back home in North Carolina named lucky. He’s a little Bichon Frise. He’s 15 years old but still just as energetic and friendly as he’s always been. My parents named him lucky because he was born on St. Patrick’s day.
If you were a dog, what breed would you be and why?
I would be a Greyhound because they’re lanky, quiet and even-tempered.
