More: Nova’s owner, Shamona Brownlee (a dear friend of mine) died in a tragic car accident on Dec. 27, 2020. My husband, Jonathan and I made a 22-hour round trip from Miami, FL to Crestview, FL to pick her up and bring her home with us. Fun facts about Nova: - She has a birthmark on her tongue - The hair on her elbow is in a swirl pattern - She is ambitious, she loves to pick up the longest sir biggest stick she can find. - She’s a digger! The first thing she dug up and brought back to us was a full-size bar of soap. - She has brought us an atelier of a deer. - Barks at large boxes, shopping carts, and my husband’s gaming chair - Loves to smell flowers, lick leaves, and is kind to mushrooms. She won’t disturb the mushroom, she just gets close to explore it. - Is offended when my husband leaves for work. - Enjoys belly rubs, but loves being petted in - small circles behind her ears. - Has a hilarious confused look on her face when me and my husband hugs. Lol. - Wishes squirrels would play with her, instead of being afraid of her. - I know she 100% believes in “stranger danger” because she barks at everyone she doesn’t know.
