What makes you the most pawtastic pet ever? Seriously? Have you seen me? Everything about me is pawfection! I’m a supawmodel and an adventurer and I can always cheer my mummy up no matter what. And when mummy rescues other little chihuahuas who are scared I help them feel better and know that they are loved 🥰
Why did you decide to enter the Nose of Tralee? My mummy felt it was only fair to share my pawsomeness with everyone else…. step 1 Ireland, step 2 world domination 😂😂

What advice would you give to the next Nose of your County? Well I hope to be next year’s Nose for Tyrone too (hehe) but if not I would tell them just to enjoy it and let their natural fabulous self shine.
How are you handling your newfound fame? Baby I have always been famous, I is a supawstar.
