We’re the proud family of not one, but three Muttville Alums.
It all started with our Marni. At the wise and seasoned age of ten our sweet Great Dane, Emma Lou, passed away leaving behind our sweet shih tzu poodle mix, Mopps.
Mopps was eight, and definitely didn’t have patience for a puppy no matter how lonely she was without her sister. Aside from that, as Emma had gotten older my husband and I found ourselves appalled at the amount of people who were shocked that we would care for her “old lady” ailments when we could just put her to sleep and get a new dog.
A close friend introduced me to Muttville, and I’ve never looked back. Marni was the perfect match for Mopps, and dispelled any myth that our five year old wouldn’t bond with a dog unless it was a puppy.
Life with Marni has been pure bliss. So much so, that my husband and I decided to open our home to two additional Mutts. Trinket joined us after the 2017 Senior Prom, and Juliette (aka Pom Pom) in late March 2018.
We call this little old lady gang The Golden Girls, and to say they’re our everything would be a gross understatement.
These girls have filled our home with love and humor while teaching us the beauty of slowing down and appreciating all the good that life has to offer.
Thank you, Muttville! These sweet girls would not be in our lives without the amazing work you do.
Love, Jaclyn
