Meet Tiana, the self-appointed center of the universe and reigning Princess XXV of the Krewe of Barkus and Meoux for 2024-2025! This bright, lovable husky found her forever kingdom with Kenneth Pierson in 2016, when she was adopted at 8 months old from the Louisiana Husky Huddle Malamute Mingle after beginning her life journey in Houma, LA. Tiana lives by a simple philosophy: always be ready to show up and show out, but never, ever for free! This entrepreneurial spirit manifests in her impressive repertoire of tricks, including her signature high-five and her remarkable speaking talents, both of which she performs with dramatic flair (and expectation of compensation, preferably in the form of rabbit ears or peanut butter cow ears, her favorite treats). When not negotiating her performance fees, Tiana indulges her passion for running and traveling, with special enthusiasm reserved for trips to her granny's house in Tennessee. Her sleeping arrangements reflect her unique personality, her primary choice being the back of the couch, cat-style, while her backup location is simply wherever her beloved dad happens to be. Tiana's social circle includes friends like Cypher, Navajo, and Addison, though she maintains her status as the star of any gathering. While she's not one for elaborate costumes, she does have a weakness for the stylish bandanas from her groomer, which she wears with the confident air of canine royalty. Her most treasured possession? A Huggle Hounds Rainbow Trout toy that has survived her enthusiastic affection. But perhaps Tiana's most endearing quirk is her habit of gently bopping other dogs on their heads with her paw-a behavior that becomes increasingly comical depending on the size of her unsuspecting target. Kenneth's favorite memory with his outgoing companion is their peaceful time together sitting on a dock overlooking the lake in the mountains of Tennessee, a moment of tranquility that perfectly balances Tiana's otherwise royal and commanding presence. With her empathetic heart and readiness to give love she is the perfect princess in Kenneth's life.
