Still very much a baby, but she is loving her time in the ring and growing in confidence with every show. I’m so proud of how this little girl is coming along and absolutely delighted to see her take this lovely milestone so young. 🥰

A very special day for Zola and hopefully the first of many. 🤞🏾❤️🐾
