If you follow me on social media at all, you know my beset friend is my puppy Chico. He’s 7 years old, but he’s only 7lbs…so he’ll always be a puppy. We go on coffee dates, we hike to watch sunrises and sunsets (definitely the latter, because we don’t do many mornings!), we share a detest for mornings and would rather stay in bed than get up and face the world, we road trip together, and we spend LOTS of time cuddling (he’s actually currently under the blankets in my lap under my computer).

His favorite treat is whip cream, whether he’s eating it from the can, from a bowl, or from his favorite coffee shop. He can clean out a grande pup whip from Starbucks in the time it takes to get out of the drive thru lane…

I can’t imagine my life without my Chico, even if he hates to pose for the camera (what kind of photographer dog IS he?!). He’s shown me what unconditional love is, and he’ll always be my favorite! Happy 3rd, ‘gotcha day’!
