ennedy  is the proud owner of Dakota, a Pitbull-Heeler mix who has a few unique quirks, including an impressive ability to climb trees. Dakota, in fact, played matchmaker at the dog park, introducing Kennedy to her fiancé, proving that "puppy love" can go beyond just the animals! Kennedy is currently studying nursing, drawn to the idea of working with two-legged anatomy, which she finds a bit simpler than managing the anatomy of four-legged creatures. When she is not working or studying, Kennedy enjoys spending time with Dakota and her daughter, Marleigh, who Dakota has been lovingly "nannying" since day one.
