Quick Fetch: Diva

Diva (right), the real taitai of Hong Kong.

Quick Fetch gives you a glimpse into our full interviews, from the hooman’s POV. Let’s help Gretchen make fetch happen!

Favourite hooman? Me, hopefully. But it may now be my mother as she sneaks her the most snacks.

Favourite animal friend? Her puppy, Nala! Just by luck we found a couple in Baltimore, where I was living when I first got Diva, that had bought one of her puppies! We became fast friends and often had momma-daughter playdates or swapped dogsitting duties. To this day Diva doesn't really play with other dogs - Nala had been the only exception. We miss Nala the most since relocating to Hong Kong.

Favourite toys or games?
Monkey in the middle. Two of us throw a toy of her choosing across a table, and she runs back and forth barking her head off until one of us screws up and drops it.

Favourite food or snacks? What doesn’t she like? But her favourites include salmon and peanut butter. Also goes oddly nuts for choy sum, blueberries, and haricot vert.

Prefers to be naked or dressed up? You wouldn’t know it by the number of photos I have with her dressed up, but nakie all the way. I mean, the girl has a built in fur coat.

Likes: Snow, snacks, and snoozles. her neighbourhood doggie boyfriend (rotates quarterly).

Dislikes: Strange men (smart girl).

If Diva was a hooman she would be...I say Nancy Pelosi, mother says Dowager Empress Cixi. Take your pick, she's a boss bitch.
