Patricia “Treekie” Kavanagh has always been an animal lover. But until she gets pets of her own, she’s been making do with those around the neighborhood. “Everyone gets plenty of exercise with Treekie at the helm,” said her mom, Jill. The 7-year-old averages five miles per week walking Sky, a Wheaton terrier, and Callie, a Golden Doodle (pictured here). She plays with the neighbors’ cats, Disco and Dudley, and rides horses at Glenmore Equestrian Center, where she gets to spend time with chickens and ducks, too. One day, Treekie says, she’d love to own dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and all farm animals (“She notes that she will not eat her farm animals,” her mom said). But her top choice? A pony. Said Jill, “For now, Breyer Horses, My Little Pony, and neighbors’ pets will suffice!”
