Where/Why did you get your pet?

We rescued Archie from an organization called Louies Legacy and were delighted to bring a new furry family member into the house.

Anything special or unusual about your pet?

Archie is a high-energy, 80lb “love bug” who has a taste for the finer things in life. He enjoys snacking on anything and everything from tissues to drywall.

Any funny stories?

Archie is only a year old and something tells us that we’ve only scratched the surface in the funny story department. One of our more memorable puppy moments occurred at the vet, where we were handed a (very expensive) commemorative photo depicting a pencil inside his stomach. Don’t worry, it all “worked out.”

What do you like best about your pet?

Arch-man, as he is lovingly referred to, is a giant “doofus” with a heart of gold. He always makes us laugh as he frequently trips over his own feet, struggles to catch a ball or treat, and spends his day licking everything in sight.

How has the pet enriched your life?

Archie’s boundless enthusiasm for life and love reminds us to live in the moment.
