About Vada

Emerging from her beloved kiddie pool, Vada, the self-appointed Troll Queen, is ready to take command of your backyard, the garden hose, and likely your daily routine. She’s all mischief, combining a stubborn streak with a love of water and Kongs. She doesn’t dole out affection freely, but when she does, it’s fiercely loyal and surprising in its warmth—just expect it on her terms. Vada thrives as a solo pet and makes it clear that canine roommates are not on her royal agenda; she prefers to rule alone. Cats are tolerated, provided they know when to bow out of her space. Men, especially the loud and tall variety, get the suspicious side-eye, and strangers can expect a healthy dose of skepticism before earning her trust. Vada isn’t out to please the crowd and won’t win any popularity contests, but if you appreciate a dog with strong opinions, endless personality, and a love of chaos, she’s everything her subjects could hope for. She guarantees you’ll laugh daily at her backyard antics, and she’ll keep an eye out for rogue sprinklers, brazen squirrels, and pesky lawn ornaments that threaten her turf. With Vada, there’s never a dull moment. She’s a Taurus, born for loyalty—and a bit of stubbornness. Your highness is waiting—bring snacks. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
