Hello there! My name is Kiara and I am deaf with a cochlear implant and a hearing aid. I know American Sign Language and that is my primary language. I also can read lips! Phone calls would not be beneficial for me but texting does! I would respond to your texts very quickly. I am currently a school counselor at California School for the Deaf. Other than that, I am a dog lover :) I can't resist dogs!! I'd walk, play, and even sleep with them to make sure they're safe. The dogs deserve equally love! During the free time, I would be taking them to the dog parks as much as I can since my condo is small. I also take my chipoo out on a walk at Lake Elizabeth every morning. I had tons of experience taking care of the dogs when I was growing up. I used to have a toy poodle that I love very much but she passed away a few years ago. I loved her so much as I would cuddle with her or take her out to walks. Recently, my family and I adopted a goldendoodle puppy! She's very handful and full of energy which I love! Not just that... I have an eight months old chipoo and he’s such cuddle baby! I love hanging out with dogs. I would definitely make them feeling that they're mine as they feel so much love from me! They will receive much cuddles and I definitely would spoil your dog as you can enjoy your vacation without worrying :)
