Dogs or cats?

Dogs! I have always grown up with dogs and couldn't live without them. I love cats too but if I gotta pick one, it's dogs.

-Spencer

The most special thing I own is...

My dogs.

-Jacob

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

Mac and cheese because it's cheesy and can be made a lot of different ways but Spencer makes the best home made mac and cheese.

-Jacob

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

Climate change.

-Jacob

Dogs or cats?

Dogs; I work with them and wouldn't have it any other way!

-Jacob

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

Spiritual. I believe a relationship with a higher power is deeply personal. I value religious/spiritual community but organized religious has never resonated with me.

-Spencer

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Sailboat! I love, love, love the water and would love to live on a houseboat anyway!

-Spencer

Favorite season and why?

Fall! The colors, the leaves, the weather....and Halloween!

-Spencer

My philosophy on parenting is...

Kids have feelings too and as parents we must help teach them emotional regulation.
