Personality: 90% attitude, 10% fluff (okay, maybe 50/50). Meet Kaia — professional side-eye giver, queen of dramatic sighs, and undisputed ruler of her household. She may be small, but her personality is bigger than your ego. Kaia doesn’t do fetch. Kaia supervises fetch. On her time. Maybe. Other female dogs? Hard pass. Kaia prefers being the main character — and trust us, she is. She’s not here to make friends; she’s here to silently judge your outfit and then walk away like a tiny furry diva. But don’t be fooled by the sass — beneath that sassy exterior is a fiercely loyal heart (and probably a hidden snack). Kaia may not work the room, but if she chooses you, you're part of a very exclusive club. Her hobbies include: snarling at girl dogs, looking unimpressed, being sweet on her terms and pretending she didn't hear you call her. Bow down. You're in Kaia’s world now.

Honey is a 5 year old bully mix who loves going out for walks, car rides, or simply baking herself like a potato out in the backyard. She loves to eat just about everything and anything - my snacks are her snacks (lol). Cheese, peanut butter, and bananas are her ultimate favorites— if she hears the cheese drawer open, the pantry door open, or the peeling of a banana she will appear instantly. She’s a bit standoffish with strangers but will eventually warm up (MAYBE). If she sees a neighbor come out of their house or car while we are out on a walk, she will sit down and stare intently (yes, she’s very nosey). She’s caught lizards but has no idea she has, lol. She stalks squirrels when they’re on the ground but has never been successful in catching one. She loves her plush toy collection - she scatters them all around the house enthusiastically after I clean. She’s not a fan of the lawn maintenance machines or anyone making too much noise (which is very subjective). It’s been fun having FPL contractors coming in and out of the yard for the ongoing underground utility work, hahaha. When she has zoomies it’s best you grab onto something or prepare to be catapulted into the air like one of her plush toys. She’s a serious girl with an unserious streak
