Karen loves telling others about the different animals, their characteristics, diets, and habitats. In creeks, she is looking for salamanders, on the patio its catching lizards, in the yard it’s playing with the dogs, ducks, and chickens. Between her two animal loving parents, she has always had a strong attachment to all critters. She enjoys gardening with her dad and harvesting the fruits and veggies.
Karen’s favorite animal is currently the Cheetah but it often changes. Her softball team is the purple cheetahs so her current favorite color and animal. She says they are cute and fast. She also loves to explain the differences between the leopard and cheetah. However she also is leaning towards bunnies more now as she has a pet bunny that she trains each day to follow, stand, spin, and go around an object that she points to. She loves all animals from snakes to bears with great passion.
She is always playing with the chickens and ducks we have and will often carry them around the yard and talk to them. She also loves kayaking and searching for wildlife like manatees, sea turtles, otters and more. When we are visiting the mountains, she wants to stay in the creek and never leave. She is never bored when outside.
