Hey everyone, I'm really pleased to find this lovely community of dog lovers and a treasure trove of cute posts to look at ~
my wife and I have really been enjoying it so far. We've been in the pet industry a long time and know a passion for pets when we see it.
~ A little bit about our little dog family ~
Our best friend of 14 years sadly passed away this weekend (rest in peace, he was literally the best!) - Columbus' passing actually inspired us to look outward and sponge some love off of your posts, so thanks for helping us cope. He was a chow retriever adopted from a rescue in Tennessee (we used to live on the east coast, now we live in Seattle), and he was an amazing dog who was as sweet as he was stubborn. Columbus responded to his name when we rescued him, and I found it fitting to keep it since I was born in Columbus, Ohio. We had an instant bond and I mourn peacefully knowing he lived an awesome life and changed us for the better.

We still have two little amazing rescue dogs (the inseparable Henry and Sammy, I sometimes refer to them as the Noodle Twins). Henry (top noodle) has been with us for four years and has had an amazing rehabilitation from a bad pet hoarding situation. He now has all the confidence in the world and we are really proud of how far he has come. Sammy (bottom noodle) has been with us for about a year and is making tremendous progress from a difficult start in California. He has so much joy and life in his eyes now it keeps us young.

And of course we have one amazing cat named Clark (everyone loves Clark).

Thanks for letting us share and we look forward to being able to get to know the community!
Cheers,
Matthew
