Meet KitKat
Breed: Border Collie
Barking from: Christchurch
What's up dog?
KitKat is both the naughtiest and cuddliest of my three dogs. She is well known for jumping on my lap in the middle of Teams (zoom) meetings and entertaining my work colleagues. She also likes to œtalk to anyone getting their mail from the letterboxes on my boundary. This area happens to be visible in the background of my on camera meetings, and there are often comments about her letterbox policing behaviour.
Fun fact - KitKat is lucky enough to compete in dog agility. Not so lucky (for me) is that she loves to give me a little nip if Im not running fast enough for her¦
Despite all the mischievous behaviour, she is an absolute cuddles who loves nothing more than pats and cuddles from anyone! She is very important to my mental health and I wouldnt be without her.
