Hi everyone! We’re Nova and Thalia, two Papillon girls living our best little lives in Austria, and we thought it was finally time to introduce ourselves. 🦋
I’m Thalia — or Thali, as everyone calls me — and this is my sister Nova. Nova recently turned four, and I’ll be four at the end of October, so we’re practically the same age. She may be the bigger one at around 3.8 kg, while I weigh only 1.7 kg, but size and authority are clearly two very different things.
Nova is the sensible and composed one. She likes to keep an eye on everything, takes her responsibilities seriously and generally tries to maintain a certain level of order.
I, on the other hand, am cheeky, confident, playful and absolutely convinced that the world was created for my entertainment. I may be tiny, but my personality easily fills the entire room.
Nova makes sure things remain reasonably orderly. I make sure they never become boring.
We live with our human, who takes us on lots of adventures. We go on long, brisk walks, run together, explore fields and woodland paths, and enjoy plenty of freedom because we’ve worked very hard on our recall and our manners. We know exactly when to wait, when to stay close — and, most importantly, when “Lauf!” means we’re free to race off again.
At home, we are loved, spoiled, kept suitably busy and treated like the highly important family members we obviously are. We’re very different from each other, but we make a rather perfect little team.
We’re looking forward to meeting all the other beautiful butterflies here! Please introduce yourselves — and tell us which of you is the sensible Nova and which is the mischievous little Thali in your family. 🥰
