I am named after Queen Isabel of Spain


My mom grew up in a Honolulu neighborhood called Kahala. That is how I got my middle name.  My dad named me Isabel because his mom grew up in Barcelona, Spain.  My grandma started the tradition of making paellas at Christmas and for my dad's birthday.  My mom has kept up that tradition since.  My dad is proud of my mom because she can cook up a great paella too. My dad named me after a famous Spanish Queen named Isabel who was married to King Ferdinand of Spain. I am every bit a queen myself. I am fussy about my food.  I enjoy being groomed.  I spend hours every day sleeping like a queen in my mommy's bed. I will lick myself clean like a cat. My mom and dad love me a lot.  I picked my dad.  When I first saw him sitting before me.  I let him pick me up and I licked his whole face.  My dad looked sideways at my mom and I knew I would go home with them that day. I am a very lucky dog. My mom loves the hill where she grew up.  Her mom still lives in the house where my mom was raised. My mom's family is large and loving. My mom wants to take me to Kahala to meet my family and mom doggie cousins who visit grandma every weekend.
