Eva's all about living life in fast-forward-picture her zooming around the yard like a black-and-white blur, pouncing on toys with the glee of a kid on a sugar rush, or flopping down for a snuggle that's sweeter than a summer popsicle.

Her vibrant vibes are downright contagious-one wag of that famous wiggle butt, and you'll be grinning from ear to ear!
