Well, the time has come, and it’s the final PAW-SITIVE PUPS article! As I wrap up my senior year, I will be going off to college and leaving the Catamount behind. As a special way to end this short series, I’m interviewing my dog for this article!

This is Pippers! Or Pip, or Pip Squeak, or Bug Eyes. She is a 5-year-old Shih-tzu. Through the years, she has been a major part of our lives, spoiled rotten, silly, and the attention hog when anyone decides to come over. My family always jokes that she acts like a cat with the weird things she does. Some of Pip’s favorite things to do are burying bones around the house in the most obvious places, biting your fingers, perching on all the chairs and even her kennel, and making sure her presence is known. She’s a very quirky gal who loves a good sun bath when the sunlight peaks through the windows. With her spunky personality, she believes she’s the queen of our household, and I don’t think that will ever change.
