WHO is the special pup in your life?

JES :: Gizmo aka the Giz, a 1-year old petit brabancon aka short-haired brussels griffon aka love bat from outer space.

WHEN - and how - did you first meet Gizmo?

JES :: My parents brought the Giz to me at my office in San Francisco. He just sat down and side-eyed me. I collapsed on the floor in a puddle of laughter. He was so tiny, so hilarious, and packing so much 'I do what I want' attitude.

WHERE is your favorite place to go together?

JES :: We are rarely apart: we bike to work together, explore the Bay Area together, adventure and travel together. The Giz has been on 30 flights! But chilling at home after a park or beach hang is our ultimate favorite.

WHAT is the best thing about Gizmo?

JES :: How he side-eyes people. How he grabs his leash and walks himself. How he stands in front of all new humans until they hang with him. How he meets literally every dog at the park, then gets so tired he cannot walk home. How he prances. How he loves to chill so hard. How he brings humor, joy and levity to me, my husband, and all the humans we share him with. How life with the Giz in it is an 11 out of 10.

WHY is Gizmo your best friend?

JES :: The Giz is my sidekick and my spirit animal. He is a total love bat, the life of a party, and chill dude all in one. The Giz is the man!
