Adventures together

She Loves Dogs

Vicky has an enduring childlike wonder that ensures she's the best friend of any dog. Her constantly powered dog radar can spot a good puppy from more than 100 yards away!

He loves photography

Aaron attempts to capture the world as he sees it, doing film photography with a variety of vintage cameras. He enjoys capturing the little moments of life, which his love of Vicky has taught him to appreciate.

Whiskey Boy

A sleepy, lazy long boy who enjoys long naps on the couch with his primary human, secondary human accepted at times. He appreciates the additional treatos that comes with having two parents.
