Barb E. Ville: Hello there, Willow! It's a pleasure to sit down with you today and get to know you a bit better. Let's dive right in. Can you tell me how you became a part of the Blatt family, joining Ryan, Holly, Tristan, and Addison, and fellow canines Bell and Arya?

Willow: Hi, Barb! Absolutely, happy to chat. I'm a yellow lab and the daughter of Holly's parents' Rick and Connie's labs, Emma and Ernest. I joined this wonderful family from their litter, and I have a sister named Bella.

Barb E. Ville: What's the story behind your name, Willow?

Willow: My name was actually chosen by the whole family. Holly loved the name, and it was an instant winner.

Barb E. Ville: Any special talents or quirks that make you unique?

Willow: Well, my greatest talent is probably my love for sleeping. I also love playing fetch, tug of war, and, of course, playing with my canine pals.

Barb E. Ville: What do you think your family likes best about you?

Willow: Oh, I think they adore how much I love being with them. No matter where they are, I'm not far away. Whether it's playing, snuggling, or just being close, I'm always ready to share some love.

Barb E. Ville: Any funny stories you'd like to share, Willow?

Willow: Well, one amusing thing I do is my slow-creep attack stance when playing with Arya. I almost come to a pause before lunging forward with all my might. It's a hilarious game we play.  It always ends with a sudden sprint to chase her around the yard. Keeps everyone entertained!

Barb E. Ville: How spoiled would you say you are?

Willow: Oh, I'm quite spoiled, I must admit. The house feels like it's mine, and they show me the same love I show them. It's a pretty incredible life!

Barb E. Ville: Lastly, how do you think you've enriched your home and family?

Willow: I like to think that my love and playful spirit bring a lot of joy into the home. When they come home every day and see me excited to greet them, it can make everything better. And the weight of me lying around with them is like a warm, comforting hug. I love being a part of this family!

Barb E. Ville: Well, Willow, it's clear that you've brought a lot of happiness and love into this home. Thanks for sharing your delightful story with us today!

Willow: My pleasure Barb. Now I have to run and plan my next surprise “attack” on Arya.
