Hi! My name is Lauren and I am a twenty-one-year-old student at Virginia Commonwealth University! I currently have 2 Boston terriers of my own as well as a cat. My mom works full-time, so on most days when I am home I am the primary caregiver for my pets. I put them out frequently, take them on walks/runs, give them treats, and I love taking them to the dog park to play with other dogs. The dog and I both get some exercise! Coming home from a long day at school and seeing my dogs faces in the window makes my day a little brighter. Any animal interaction I can get instantly makes me happier and is the biggest stress reliever one can get. Playing and caring for animals makes my life happier and I know it makes theirs as well!
