It’s not often that a Wirehaired Griffon (pronounced grif-ON, with an accent) stands in the spotlight, but here I am, shining like the star I was born to be. Normally, other pups steal the show, but I know it’s because my mom and dad love me so much that I get to be featured as a “Lucky Dog”—and let me tell you, I’m one lucky dog! I’m living my best life as an island dog, sniff-sniff, with plenty of wiggles along the way.
Now, I’m not your “normal” dog. I mean, I’m named after a male golfer, and let’s be honest, my breed isn’t as popular as some. But I’m totally fine with calling myself a unicorn at this point. If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m a beach girl with amazing hair who loves the water and adores my family. Blonde on a Griffon? Not your usual look, but I wear it well, rocking my curtain curls like a pro. It does take work, but luckily, sunbathing is one of my top skills.
P.S.—Yes, blondes do have more fun! Although, I can’t sunbathe too long because I don’t like being far from my humans. They are everything to me, and I must stay close. My heart just beats better when I’m near them—sometimes a little too close.
When we were a trio, I was the center of attention, always traveling and seeking new adventures. One time, I had a standoff with a rooster in Florida! I wasn’t sure what that strange creature was, so I tried to get to know it, but quickly realized… it was not my idea of a fun playdate.
Now, my playdates are more my style—soaring off docks, chasing toys, and enjoying my favorite day of the week. But what makes me even happier is when I’m reunited with my human team—now a team of five! The little ones and I are still building our bond, but I can already tell we’re going to be best buds, seeking adventures and getting dirty together.
Right now, there’s a lot of tugging and drooling, but every day brings something new. And I have to say—I’m loving the new food that magically appears when they eat. Their plate-to-mouth accuracy is about 50%, and I happily step in as the clean-up crew. I’m a team player!
My days are filled with sun, salt, walks, naps, and chasing balls in the water. I love the water and have a sharp eye for finding the prize. One day, while walking with Mom, I spotted Dad out in the ocean—way too far for my comfort—so, naturally, I went to retrieve him. Mom was yelling, so I thought she was cheering me on—but nope! Turns out, Dad was just surfing with his friends. Oops! I swam right into the lineup. His face was priceless. ☺
In the few years we’ve been together, our family has gone through a lot of change, and my goal has always been to be their special companion, whatever they need. So far, so good. They’ve brought me to the best home a dog could have, and now, I’m officially a lucky dog!
Thank you to my best humans for letting me lounge in your laps as we venture through life together. You have my heart forever—with my paws in yours.
