Opal & Onyx

Onyx is the sweetest, most affectionate boy — a true people-dog who has naturally stepped into the big-brother role between the two. Opal, on the other hand, is our little mischief-maker — playful, silly, and full of energy! His absolute favorite game is having our younger son throw toys for him, and he could play all day long. And while Opal is off having fun, Onyx is happiest stretched out at someone‘s feet, soaking up every bit of love and petting he can get. They’re the perfect pair and have brought so much joy to our family — we can‘t imagine life without them!

Bilbo

Bilbo is the greatest puppy that I ever purchased, besides my senior dog! He took to potty training well and mastered it within a month. He’s a very smart little guy and I never had problems with him chewing on my shoes nor other things in the house when I house trained him.

My senior dog never clashed with him though she’s quite particular in terms of other dogs in her domain. Bilbo warmed our hearts and continues to do so everyday!

He’s my 5am alarm clock as he jumps on me and showers me with kisses and when I board him when I’m out of town, he’s the social butterfly. He thinks he’s a guard dog and takes this job quite seriously but also loves his belly rubs and laying in front of the fireplace.

He will have us forever!!! 🥰

Him and Chelsea play so much it’s so sweet, and they do they’re zoomies together 😂

Thanks to Kiana and her wonderful husband I’ve got another fur baby that means the world to me ❤️❤️

She is beautiful. My husband says it’s like dating Taylor Swift, everyone wants to talk to her and pet her!
