Sil & Coffee

Who is in photo at right?

That's me, Sil, and my puggle, Coffee. We live in Toronto Canada with my husband and my cat.

What's the occasion for Coffee with a Canine?

Today Coffee and I went out for my daily coffee and walk. I'm also going on vacation for five days and wanted to spend some special time with my beloved pup.

What's brewing?

One small black coffee (Colombian Dark) from the Second Cup just down the road from us. I shared a piece or two of my muffin with Coffee.

Any treats for you or Coffee on this occasion?

Just two small bits of my muffin.

How did Coffee get her name? Any nicknames?

Coffee was named Coffee because my husband loves coffee and because she's the same color. I call her Honey Bunny sometimes or Coffee Cake.

How were you and Coffee united?

After being married for 8 months, my husband and I went for walks in this dog park. We discussed it and decided we wanted to get a dog. We got her from a pet store, but in the future I will adopt from a shelter or breeder.

Who is Coffee's best pet-pal?

She knows her sister from her litter. We actually bumped into each other in a local pet store and after talking with the owner, we put two and two together and Coffee now hangs out with her sister Paige from time to time.

Squeaky toy, ball, stick...?

She loves a bone and will spend hours munching and chewing on one.

Cat, postman, squirrel...?

She lives with a cat (Misha) and they co-exist well. Are they best buds? No, but Coffee seems to get along with almost everyone. She is not a fan of raccoons though.

What is Coffee's best quality?

Coffee is always joyous and happy. She is pure goodness and looks you right in the eyes making you feel like there is a deep connection. Even though she is not a puppy anymore, she still has that puppy energy that everyone loves.

If Coffee could change one thing about the good people of Toronto, what would it be?

That the good people of Toronto would allow more dogs into public areas (malls, stores) and make more off leash dog parks.

If Hollywood made a movie about your life in which Coffee and Misha could speak, which actor should do their voices?

Misha would sound like Scarlett Johansson and Coffee would sound like Ellen DeGeneres.

If Coffee could answer only one question in English, what would you ask her?
