GL: So, JoJo, your dad tells me you are 3 years old and
came from a breeder near Snowshoe?
JoJo: Yes, that makes me about 21 in human years
so I’m just coming into my prime. I must be from
Snowshoe because I LOVE the snow! I love summer

GL: What’s your favorite part about summer, JoJo?
JoJo: I LOVE to paddleboard with Dad at Lake
Chatham and fish while I’m there! I can fish for
hours just pacing around and staring at the
water to spot them! I love to swim too, but it’s
hard to see the fish when I’m swimming.
GL: Have you been catching many fish?
JoJo: I’ve only ever caught one.
I think he was a bluegill. I
wasn’t quite sure what to
do with him when I got
him out of the water but
it’s fun to try to catch
them! I guess that’s
why they call it fishing
instead of catching!
GL: Good point. What else
do you enjoy doing, JoJo?
JoJo: I love my dog buddies
and love to play with them.
