HAPPY HEART HANDBOOK

Meet Poboy, Pickles, and Gator — a perfectly unbalanced trio of love, chaos, and mess. Poboy, the 9yo golden retriever, is the sunshine-hearted big brother who just wants snacks, snuggles, and more snacks. When he’s not eating—or plotting his next meal—you’ll find him rolling joyfully in the grass, soaking in the breeze on our balcony, swimming (puddles or the ocean- whichever is closest), or handing out love like it’s his full-time job. Pickles, the 6yo dachshund, worships Poboy and thinks she is a golden retriever. When she’s not glued to Poboy’s side, she’s on high alert—keeping the world safe from squirrels, other dogs she hasn't met, and suspicious sounds.  And then there’s Gator, the cat. He spends his days terrorizing Pickles, discovering new and inconvenient nap spots, and snoring louder than any creature his size should be able to. Look at him the wrong way and you might get a nibble—but deep down (very, very deep down), he’s all heart. Together, they run the household with equal parts sweetness, mischief, and fur… lots of fur.
