How and when did you get your pet?
My husband and I had been talking about having a puppy for a while, but we never had the courage to get one. So I've been dog sitting a few times because I was home full time. The week of our first year anniversary I asked my husband if we could go look at a puppy I found on Craigslist. I told him we are just looking, but when I met Kona in person my husband knew I fell in love with her and he knew he couldn't say no after he saw me looking at her. She was the size of one of my hands when I held her.
What does your pet like to do for fun?
She loves playing with her little Charmander plush toy (Pokemon) and taking her daily naps. Her Charmander soothes her to sleep and gives her comfort, so I would bring it everywhere for her when we go out.
Do you have anything else to share about your pet?
Kona beat parvo when she was only a few weeks old. She also had worms (tape and round worms) while beating parvo at a young age (4-6 weeks old). I had never heard of parvo before even when I previously had a Pomeranian for 16 years. I found out parvo was very often fatal. My heart sunk after I found out she was tested positive for parvo and admitting her to a hospital would cost us 2 grand which we didn't have the money for. We were also expecting a baby. I took her home hoping she could recover on her own with home treatments that we did for her. She was a strong puppy and fought through the parvo and the worms.
She loves strangers and liked it when people would ask if they could pet her. She learned her sit command when she was only 5 weeks old and she learned it in less than a week! My husband and I love her. She is one of the best things to happen to us.

I remember your posting about the trials you were having with this poor baby and it is so nice to see she survived and she is absolutely adorable!!
So nice to hear (and see) that you were able to nurse her through all her trials and now you are a happy family of 3 - soon to be 4?
Wishing you the very best in all your future years with your growing family.
Yes! I remember you. Thank you for your comment! If you would like to follow her we made an Instagram post for her. Sn- Konayorkiebear :)
