Dog of the Month
Because the editor of the CWE Dog Parks Dog of the Month column missed deadlines for the last few months . . .apologies . . . things have been hectic at work, there will be two Dogs of the Month this month. Â Congratulations go to Izzi and Ace for their gentleness and beauty that adds a little class to the dog park in the hood. I had a chance to sit down with both of them. Here is what they had to say.
Q: Could you tell us a little bit about yourselves?
A: Izzi: My name is Izzi Shandra Grezlak. I got my middle name because I like the movie Malibu's Most Wanted and Shandra is my favorite character in the film. Â I am a whippet, I am 30 lbs and my hair is silky soft. The secret is lavender baby shampoo . . .trust me, it makes the guys go wild.
A: Ace: My name is Ace (TBD) Grezlak. My sister is ranked 1.0 in my mother's book and I am only 1.25 so she didn't give me a middle name. Most people don't know this but I am coming out with the fact that I am not a full Whippet. . . . God that felt good.
Q: Tell me more about your parents are they good people?
Our mother is Lisa Grezlak, she is the principal and owner of a Marketing/Design agency called The Design Common Wealth. GOTO www.theDesignCommonWealth.com <http://www.theDesignCommonWealth.com> for all your marketing/design needs. It helps feed and clothe us. She loves walks in the park, red wine for treats and is looking for a 6 foot tall, blond hair, blue-eyed Christian man for us . . .we need a father figure in our lives.
Q: Can you give me a little background on how you were adopted?
A: Izzi: What? Adopted? I wasn't adopted. I was a gift sent from heaven . . inspired from a Vogue fashion spread. I think someone named Craig with a list is my father.
A: Ace: I got lost from my original owner and landed myself in the slammer. My mother bailed me out . . of course Izzi had to approve before she would take me home.
Q: Describe to me your overall personalities/likes/dislikes:
A: Izzi: Some call me distant . .I call it aloof and mysterious. I mean seriously . . when you are 1.0 you don't need everyone fawning all over you. I love when my friends come over to play . . .Simone, Story, Sonte . . Aunt Jen even brings me bones. I love to sun bathe . .guys like a whippet with a tan.
A: Ace: I'm not gay (not that there is anything wrong with it) but I will admit that I am a Momma's boy. I have this eccentric habit of growling at my mother until she let's me get completely under the blanket to snuggle with her. It must have something to do with being marked 1.25 . . I'm not sure I'll ever get over it.
Q: Do you have any formal educations or special achievements you would like to share with the readers?
A: Izzi: When my mom asks me to sit. . I don't. I think you get my point.
A: Ace: Despite the fact that I am only 1.25, I do everything my mom tells me to do.
Q: When did you start going to the dog park?
A: June 2009. We are newbies!
Q: When do usually go to the dog park?
A: Izzi: Of course, Yappy Hour . . I love water from the faucet.
A: Ace: I love a good cosmopolitan
Q: What is your favorite thing at the dog park?
A: Izzi: I love to run around and network.
A: Ace: Â Did I mention I'm a momma's boy? You will find me on her lap.
Q: Who do you like playing with the dog park?
A: Izzi: Duffy and Duncan are hot . . I mean ya that eat poo . . .but they are guys right?
A: Ace: Ok . . my mom is considering giving me the middle name of humperdink because of my fondness for Duncan but I’m not gay I just want to be his pack leader.  Duncan doesn't seem to mind.
Q: And finally if you believe that heaven exists, when you die, what do you hope God would say to you?
A: Izzi: You were a little gift from heaven . . good job at taking care of your Mommy and Ace.
A: Ace: You will always be 1.0 in my book
