NOMNOMS defined:
1. the sounds one makes when eating something incredibly tasty
2. the unofficial dog mascot of Strava
3. A delicious taste of a food product or drink.
Let's take a closer look at #2. Nomnoms became part of the Strava family in early 2021 when his human, Patrick joined Strava.
EARLY LIFE:
Nomnoms was born in 2015 and was the runt of the litter. He found his forever home when he was 8 months old and was adopted into Patrick's home. From the beginning, Patrick would outfit Nomnoms with a bandana to give him different looks. He now has over 50 bandanas that he graciously shares with Patrick. Nomnoms also owns a number of outfits ensuring he is ready for any occasion!
HOBBIES:
As his name suggests, one of Nomnoms favorite activities is eating, he enjoys almost all foods. He will always go to where the food is at and follow anyone that has some.
Nomnoms also enjoys going on runs, hikes AND bike rides with his human. Pugs generally do not enjoy these activities, however, Nomnoms is no ordinary pug! Also, he doesn't do the actual running, hiking or biking, he is pushed or carried for these activities!
Patrick has a dog stroller that is outfitted with Nomnoms bed and he tries to run on flat surfaces to ensure Nomnoms has a smooth ride. When hiking, Patrick uses a doggy carrier strapped to his chest. And for biking, Nomnoms is carried in a backpack specially made for dogs. Since Nomnoms spends most his days living close to ground level, he really enjoys these activities where he can see the world from a higher vantage point!
FAVORITE STRAVA FEATURE:
Nomnoms' favorite feature on Strava is the video support on the feed. He loves being a star and doing tricks on camera comes so naturally that he wants it all to be documented! Nomnom aspires to be a running influencer since he knows that folks love to see him being pushed by his human around town.
