Pet of the Month
We love your pets, so weโre showcasing them.
- Ito
๐ Meet Ito โ a sweet, silly boy who loves long walks, squeaky toys, and keeping his mom on her toes! Weโre thrilled to celebrate this lovable and hilarious pup as our October Pet of the Month!
๐ถ Favorite Thing to Do Together: Going for long walks โ especially when itโs not too hot!
๐ Swimming: Absolutely not! Ito prefers to keep his paws firmly on dry land. ๐
๐พ Favorite Toy: His favorite yellow squeaky ball!
๐๏ธ Favorite Place to Sleep: Momโs bed or the couch. Because why choose just one?
๐ฆด Favorite Treat: Anything his mom is eating. Obviously. ๐
๐พ Tricks & Special Talents: Ito can shake hands like a gentleman, but his true superpower is getting something he shouldnโt eat into his mouth in less than 0.0005 seconds. Lightningโfast mischief!
๐ Quirky & Funny Behavior: Ito loves to bring you a toyโฆ but the moment you reach for it, he spins around and presents his wiggle bootie instead โ because what he really wanted was a booty rub!
โค๏ธ Congratulations, Ito! Weโre so happy to celebrate this sweet, squeakyโballโloving, wiggleโbootie boy as our Pet of the Month!

My one regret is when I waited too long. She didn't know who I was and was afraid of me. She constantly paced and was anxious, like she felt lost and scared (even though she was inside the house). I didn't figure it out soon enough. Sorry, old girl.
