Name: Opal
Hometown:
Richmond, Virginia.
Age: 8 years young.
Favorite brand of kibble: An artisanal mix of Royal Canin and Hill’s Science Diet, prepared by my own personal chefs (Mom and Dad). It’s only the best for the best pup!
Favorite people food: You name it, I’ll eat it. However, I’m particularly fond of cucumbers, carrots, blueberries, skinned apples—and, of course, whipped cream.
Favorite toy: My PetLou brand sheep, times three. I love this sheep so much that whenever my parents see some, they buy out the stock and save them as year-round gifts for me because while I love them like babies, I also like to perform squeak-ectomys on each of them. I’m up to 37 and counting….
Favorite outdoor activity: Hiking as far as my little legs will take me. Put me near the Granite Dells, and I become a mountain goat hopping away.
Favorite indoor activity: I am a nap queen.
Favorite nap spot: While I could take a good nap anywhere (even sitting upright), I sure do love a nice, warm sunny spot.
Fitness regimen: I enjoy daily walks after Mom gets off work, but weekends are my favorite. Weekends are ADVENTURE TIME! I love hiking, swimming, and rock climbing in new places with the parents.
Describe your perfect canine pal: My perfect canine pal would be my late boyfriend, Everett, who lived with my mom’s best friend in Philly. Everett recently went to play and get belly rubs from angels high above the clouds. Everett will always be the most handsome boy I ever did see, and I will forever love him.
I look forward to the day I get to play and share pup-cups with him again. Until then, I am but a lonely widow. This heart of mine goes out to my one and only, Everett.
Describe your perfect day: Any day I get to be living and exploring this beautiful world with my parents is the perfect day—although I do have some preferences, if you’re asking.
My perfect day would include sunshine to bask in, snow I can hop around in, nice water to swim in, my parents to pass the time with, a bottomless pup-cup to share with my late boyfriend, and all the toys I have ever owned returning to their original state so I can enjoy tearing them up all over again.
