Smokey the Papillon is hardly old at 9 years. Small dogs live a long time, and Smokey is a spry little guy.
I just can’t resist a pun and an insider joke. I live in Arizona, and I know that an ancient volcanic field created the fertile soil that Flagstaff was built on. It’s also a densely forested area. Volcanoes, Smokey Bear…
I’m sorry. We’re talking about a cute, big-eared pup and I’m going all geo-geek.
Ok, just one more thing, but this one’s relevant: It can get cold in Flagstaff, and this little guy is a serious snuggler. “I like to lie as close to my human as I can get,” his profile says.
Who wouldn’t want that Smokey for a bedwarmer — or to wake up to that soulful gaze?
