Tell us more about your pet(s) and their names?
I have a tiny teddy bear dog named Pearl. She’s a year and half old, weighs 5 pounds, and brings me nothing but joy.
Have you ever taken your pet on tour?
I haven’t, but I think she would handle it very well. She loves car rides and being outside in the world.
Who looks after your pet while on the road?
My dad gets to take care of his little granddogger whenever I’m away, he loves having her so it’s a win-win.
What’s your pet’s favorite song or album?
She loves Knocked Loose, especially the parts where it goes arf arf. She immediately gets the zoomies and starts throwing down.
How did you introduce your pet to metal?
She had no choice. It was inevitable and fortunately, it didn’t bother her at all. She can sleep through the heaviest music I can find.
What animal charity means most to you?
I am not too knowledgeable on animal charities, but if I were to help out, I’d say stop by your local shelter and see if they need any volunteer work or monetary/food donations.
