A.+Canfield

My name is Adin Canfield, and I live with my mom and visit my dad on weekends. I have a pet snake named keron (k-EAR-on) and a cat named dumpster, from where my mother found her. My favorite animal is a snake because they are stealthy and clever.My favorite color is orange because it is happy and refreshing. My favorite food is cheesecake. A cool thing about me is that I dont care for candy. The animal I chose is the oxen, because I'm big and tough Plant facts
