My family consists of my husband Kenneth, our son Darius, our daughter Alexis, our son Kenneth Daniel, and our dog Grizzly. My husband Kenneth is an A&P Mechanic and is currently working on his Engineering degree. Our son Darius is 12 years old. He likes reading and exploring nature. Our daughter Alexis is 3. She enjoys any messy activity and likes to stay busy. Our newest addition (Kenneth Daniel) was born December 2010. Our Labrador retriever (Grizzly) is a cherished part of our family. He has attended behavior training classes. He can do many tricks and he is the best behaved dog we have ever had! He is kind, gentle and gets along great with the children. He is one class away from his therapy dog certification. But with our growing family we haven’t made the time for the additional training classes. I believe that pets teach children to love, care for and respect animals. Pets also teach responsibility.
