    Ernie was quick to respond to my application and messages during the adoption process. He answered all my questions regarding nunu’s health and history. Ernie even took the time to reach out a couple days after pick up to check up on nunu to see how she was doing. He was kind enough to answer some questions I had regarding nunu weeks after I took her home. Like when I asked him how he came up with the name nunu. As my family nick name is nunu so I believed she was meant to be mine lol. Ernie told me that he named her after nunu’s grandma as she looks just like her! (so cute!) Nunu’s grown so much over the past month. She’s super shy but given time she’s super playful and has a big personality! She loves playing with her toys and running around. And when she’s excited she’ll start howling and pawing at you. Nunu loves to cuddle and prefers to lay her head on your face or in your neck and give you little kisses before falling asleep. She’s doing great on her potty training and has very little accidents. (All thanks to Ernie teaching her to use puppy pads lol) She’s started puppy school and is learning so many different things. She’s super smart and picks up on new tricks fast. Everyone who meets her instantly falls in love and ask to see pictures of her all the time. I’ve shared Ernie’s profile with so many people after they meet nunu.
