Last weekend, I was going through a rough period and semi-spontaneously got a puppy. I had been wanting a puppy for months, scouting out all local puppies that were posted for sale. I didn't expect to get the puppy so soon, but I saw the perfect puppy and only a small window of opportunity. I decided to get her, and she was in my arms two hours later.

Meet Genie.

Jennifer Zhang

She's the cutest little Pomeranian-Terrier I've ever seen. She's super tiny - only 2 pounds, and just nine weeks old.

She's very shy around strangers but warmed up to me very fast. She was scared to ride in the car seat by herself, so I drove her home (over an hour) with her napping in my lap.

She loves taking naps, specifically on me. She likes strawberries, but not blueberries. When I leave my clothes on the floor, I come back to find her sleeping on them. She greets me with a tail wagging so hard it looks like it'll fall off. She's so innocent and so sweet, and has so much love in her heart.

I'm so excited for the next decade with her - all the memories we'll go through together and all the dog toys we'll go through. Here's to all the good times to come!
