The Pekingese dog breed were said to be lions turned into dogs by the Buddha, so just in time for Chinese New Year: a little lion 🦁 for the year of the tiger 🐯
Ziggy is actually only his nickname; his full name is Amazing Larry. Here’s a glimpse we get of a rainbow-mohawked “Amazing Larry” in Peewee’s Big Adventure:
Yes yes, we know, shortening Amazing Larry to Ziggy is a bit of a stretch, but it works for us. Clip
The week leading up to actually getting the dog was weirdly stressful because my overwhelming desire for a dog was clashing with my crippling fear of change. Here I was, a person whose entire personality has been based around getting a dog, finally standing at the edge of the precipice and questioning myself. As Peter put it, I am the dog who caught the car 🚗 🐩. But it is all good, Ziggy is in our home now and I am absolutely in love.
Lil Ziggy is also a bit of a 5-year anniversary milestone gift for us as well—we’ll be at 5 years in February 💕
