MEET QUEEN TESSIE: RULER OF WIGGLES, SNUGGLES & ABSOLUTE NONSENSE

Behold Queen Tessie, a 3-year-old pit bull mix who looks like a tiny cow and carries herself like a royal who absolutely outranks you—despite what your “job title” may say.

Her Majesty adores people, wiggles ferociously, and holds a prestigious doctorate in Lounging on Humans. If you sit, she will assume the throne (your lap) without hesitation. Audience with the queen is not optional.

Royal Decree: No Other Dogs

Queen Tessie demands a dog-free kingdom.
If she witnesses dogs enjoying themselves, she immediately announces:
“I HAVE DECIDED THAT FUN IS CANCELLED.”
She is the fun police, judge, jury, and full-time enforcer.

Nose Work? A Royal Passion

At the shelter, Queen Tessie excelled at nose work.
What was she looking for? Who knows.
Was she proud? Absolutely—she strutted away like she’d solved a national mystery.

Royal Talents

Graceful on leash (unless a suspicious scent or squirrel challenges her authority)
Tug-of-war champion, undefeated in all kingdoms
Elite cuddler who drapes herself over you like a regal, opinionated throw blanket
Olympic-level butt wiggler, powered entirely by joy and royal entitlement
Quick Royal Summary

Looks like a cow
Bossier than your manager
Wiggles like Jell-O during an earthquake
Loves her subjects (people) with her whole heart
Strongly believes other dogs should stop having fun
If you seek a royal companion who rules with snuggles, sass, and unstoppable wiggles—Queen Tessie awaits your summons.
