Our pretty girl We found Olivia in 2010 at a pet adoption event. Out of all the other puppies we saw that day, it was never a question: Olivia would be joining our family. Officially named Olivia Monster Speaker, she earned hundreds of nicknames: Liv, Liv-y, pretty girl, baby girl, smart girl, monster-butt, stinky-butt, wiggle-butt, and lots of variations of -girl and -butt. She always hated a car ride but loved the walk, or hike, or family visit that was at the end of every trip. She made so many friends, both on two and four legs. Her eyebrows, smile, and playful spirit always got her scritches or even better, treats. Food motivated from the very beginning, our princess always got a taste of whatever we were eating so long as it was safe for her to eat. She especially loved ice cream, pancakes, and anything with peanut butter. She loved being with us and even at 14 years old, she would follow us from room to room. She loved a walk to the neighborhood park, even when the distance began being too great for her. Our girl gave us her strength and love for 14 years, and we did the exact same for her. We will never forget her and the impact she made on the lives around her. We like to think that even now she is playfully chasing bunnies, and squirrels, and getting unlimited love and treats. Where ever you are Olivia, we will love you forever monster.
