Birdee is my name and fun is my game!
Hi!! My name is “Bird Dog RheaEllyn Sowa”, but my friends call me Birdee. I was born Jan. 12, 2024 in Gig Harbor, Wa but I got to Texas as soon as I could! On my eight week birthaversary my new mom Kelly, my aunt Rhea and my Granddad Joe scooped me up and drove me to Texas. I didn’t know then but Mom and Aunt Rhea had come to Washington to move Grandpa to Houston. So yeah, I’ve been to six states, visited Craters of the Moon National Monument, Arches National Park, and I might have eaten a piece of salt along the shore of the Great Salt Lake.
As for my very big name… my mom surprised grandpa and took him to the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, Idaho. They let me sneak in too ‘cause I was so small. All of this so mom could get a picture of dad in front of a “Bird Dog”, that’s what he flew in Vietnam as a Forward Air Controller.
My middle name comes from my Godmothers Rhea and Ellyn who conspired to have mom meet me before leaving Washington. Those sneaky ladies slid a phone to mom and said talk to this lady – she has puppies! Mom is a huge proponent of rescue pups! So even though I was an “accident”, I like to think she rescued me from the shivering temps of the PNW!
I love Idylwood and all the pups I have met since I’ve been here! Woody was my first nose boop through the fence. He kind of scared me at first but now I think of him like my uncle. My bestest friends in all of Idylwood are McKee and her people. If you see us doing zoomies in her front yard don’t be scared, come play and join in the silly fun!
Lastly, I have to mention my housemate Blú, he is a genuine Idylwood rescue. Mom says he was rescued as a tiny baby on Sylvan and bottle fed! I don’t know what they fed him but he’s still bigger than me! We love to chase and play, and then take long naps. He’s the best big brother a pup could have, even if he does try to steal my food…
