Moodyblues Good Trouble

I'm from the Moodyblues' "REO Speedwagon Litter" born January 1, 2023 (my puppy name was Kia)

My mom is Zuppa (Moodyblues Cool Wind in My Hair SC DCAT) and my dad is Zeppola

(Ch Almawhip Albinoni vs Star Wars for Moodyblues)

Me as a wee pup

My nicknames are  Little Lady, Miss Lady, Viiiiiiiiiolet, The Teeniest of Ladies, Tiny Horse

I’m an only-dog and live with my favorite people Jess and Greg

We live in Chicago, IL

My top favorite activities: Joyriding around the apartment with a tennis ball or stuffed animal—it's my signature move. Sometimes I go all out and add some dramatic vocals (a.k.a. my epic whale song) for that extra flair! When I'm not showing off, I'm perfecting my intense stare as I stealthily stalk my parents.

I don’t currently participate in any official sports but I’m thinking about trying Agility and FastCAT (we’ll see!).

I currently eat Royal Canine Hydrolyzed Diet (sigh.. we’re exploring allergies) but my favorite is Ollie’s

My favorite treat is: a Bully Stick!!

My favorite toy is: I love my stuffed giraffe (Oscar), but, let’s be honest, my favorite is anything I stole from the park. There’s just something extra exciting about a stick or tennis ball that come via “alternative acquisition” methods… ..

I purchase all my fabulous outfits from my favorite ateliers in the UK. International fashion icon? Obviously. Move over Tika (RIP 😥)

My go to shops are: 

* Speedray (https://speedraydesignwear.com/)

* Occam (https://www.occamstores.com/en-us)

* Cloud7 (https://cloud7.de/en/)

* Vackertass Supply Co (https://www.vackertass.co/)

The worst thing I ever chewed up was: Rugs. All of them. Every rug. Honestly, my parents (and especially my grandparents) really didn’t appreciate my interior-design vision. Apparently “distressed chic” wasn’t the look they were going for.

When I grow up I want to: Become a professional napper. I'm already doing internships on the couch. Alternatively, I may pursue a career as a treat sommelier…Or maybe I’ll become the world’s first canine detective—we’ve got some extremely suspicious squirrels in the neighborhood,

Here’s something interesting about me: I despise water. Baths? Criminal activity. Rain? A personal attack. My parents once rented kayaks on vacation and called it “family bonding,” but I’m pretty sure it violated several Geneva Conventions. Let’s just say I did not enjoy the maritime portion of the holiday….
