My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Princess Peanut has arrived and trust us, everyone is aware. This little queen does not enter a room so much as sweep into it with an imaginary spotlight following her every move. She is loud, she is proud, and she absolutely believes the world is her stage (and honestly, she is not wrong). Peanut will ricochet from one person to the next with pure delight, yipping like the social butterfly she is.
She is eight years old but refuses to act her age, it`s just a number after all. Daily walks? Essential. Playtime? Mandatory. Peanut is a diva and she has requirements. Her new family must remain close enough to admire her, snuggle her, and compliment her beauty at all times. She thrives with an audience unless she suddenly decides to bolt and make you chase her for sport. She seems to enjoy the thrill of being pursued, so she must always be on leash outdoors or contained in a very secure fenced area. Her legs are tiny but shockingly fast.
*She also should not be left alone. Ever. She has made that clear.*
If you are searching for a sparkly, demanding, entertaining prima donna who will absolutely take over your life and make you thank her for it, Peanut is your girl. Honestly there is no topping this little showgirl who will have you wondering how you ever lived before her reign began.
