Receive Text UpdatesLily loves nature because it is home to so many animals. Animals are her favorite part of nature, and she loves that each animal has its own special characteristics and abilities. She collects stuffed animals so she can be surrounded by as many animals as possible. And she has a special connection with her very own pup, Chubbs. Lily feels completely at peace and totally at home when she is exploring nature. She feels like herself when she is in nature and when in the company of animals.
This decision is so hard for Lily. She loves every animal she learns about. If she had to choose, she would most likely pick the wolf. To Lily wolves are so mysterious and energetic. She loves that they travel in packs, and she admires their life long bonds. Lily really likes that they are a loyal species-bonded for life and always taking care of each other.
Lily loves to hike and walk through the forest. Lily hikes with her hiking club once a month and often hikes with her family as well-when it isn’t too hot in Arizona! The forest walks are her favorite because of the tall trees that give shade and all the secret hiding spots for all the animals.
