DECORAH, Iowa -- Nala- the black, white, and gray toy poodle- owned by Rosa Fajardo de Henriquez of Decorah, is the debut Pet Pal Spotlight. Rosa describes Miss Nala as the spunky, sarcastic, and sassy character in every hilarious comedy movie. "While she can't talk, her actions speak volumes," said Fajardo de Henriquez in her spotlight entry form. "Aside from sniffing out any food left behind, ripping the stuffing out of toys, and barking at anyone who dares walk by the house, Nala LOVES eating carrots, sunbathing on the deck, posing for pictures, and trotting down Dug Road." Her owner said this is where she'll get the most 'hellos' and where she can death stare at the geese. Nala was brought home in a small kennel with a red ribbon on top on Christmas Eve of 2011. "Though she was mistaken for a small kitten by the kids, she has evolved into our family's rock and heart," said Fajardo de Henriquez. "She leaves behind her a trail of scattered toys and seven dog beds," continued Fajardo de Henriquez. "A symphony of joyful yips resonate through every corner of our home. Nala has discovered the secret to eternal puppyhood, and our family couldn't be more grateful." Keep an eye out when walking Dug Road for Decorah's Miss Nala. To submit your pet for an upcoming Pet Pal Spotlight, please complete the entry nomination. Pet Pal Spotlight is a feature of DecorahNews.com to help celebrate the diversity of our world, including its furry citizens.
