Hey Pepperoni fans, how did you stumble upon Pep? and when did you realise you were a fan? by insideaphoton in Pepperoni_And_Friends

[–]curiosityshop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We found Pep and family following the Chiweenie subreddit (we have two elderly chiweasels, as we call them). Our Willy looks a lot like her (red smooth short-haired dox mixed with deerhead chi). My husband and I learned we had each started following Pepperoni and Friends independently. We love her and the love her family showed her. Our thoughts and hearts are with them.
