Nali May

Nali the Lion! Poor thing puts up with a lot!

Nali loves to snuggle and sleep. She loves being dried with a hair dryer
after her baths. Then her fur is super fluffy!

Here is my adorable puppy who I love to death! My family adopted Denali May on July 4, 2011. We were at a park watching a 4th of July parade where we saw a lady trying to sell some puppies. I couldn't resist looking at them even though I knew my mom would never agree to buy one. That's when I met this sweet little fur ball. She had long, shaggy fur that had been pet by a million little greasy kid's hands, so when I first saw her honestly I thought she was sorta ugly. That soon changed after we kids and our family friends talked my mom into buying her. A decision that our family has never regretted (even during her potty training).
Denali is often called Nali, Nals, or Sugar Plum Princess (but only by my little brother Jimmy). Her breed is a mix between a Yorkshire terrier and poodle or a Yorki-poo . She is so smart, and we have been able to teach her lots of tricks. My family jokes that we have a circus dog, which made turning her into a lion even more hilarious (see picture to left). Nali can sit, lay down, shake, dance, roll over, play dead, and even balance a treat on her nose until we give her the signal to eat it. Usually she mixes them up so she just does them all in fast sequence hoping she did one of them right and will earn her treat.
She does have a nasty habit of getting into the bathroom trash and making huge messes while we are away. We make her clean them up though (with a little help from us). She is super paranoid about us eating her food. We've tried to explain to her that we don't eat dog food, but she still growls at us when we are by her food. The little turd! I blame my brothers because they tease her relentlessly. She also freaks out whenever someone new comes over. Give her time to warm up to you, and she'll love you to pieces! She totally brightens up my bad days and makes my good days so much greater. I love her so much!
Sincerly, Seriously Sierra
