Pepper Rose

(One of her favorite toys is Scooby Doo)

Pepper is our corgi puppy and light of our family. She was born November 15th 2018, and made her way into our hearts January 2019. Garrett and I drove 12 hours in total to pick her up from Idaho. The drive was long and boring but 100% worth it. Pepper passed out in our laps most of the drive, after experiencing her first Puppicino and sugar high. Now 10 months old, she is the sassiest, smartest, happiest girl. Between her and our cat, Figgy, it's like having two toddlers running around the house constantly. They have the stereotypical love/hate sisterly relationship and enjoy chasing each other around the apartment and knocking over my various projects (this is why we can't have nice things).

I have wanted a dog all my life, but the timing was never right for my family. Garrett, my partner, grew up with dogs and missed having one around. We started looking for a puppy casually last fall, but decided we couldn't afford it. We found Pepper and instantly fell in love, but Garrett threw out a very low number for our puppy fund and we couldn't get her. Fast forward a month..my determination still high, I came across Pepper again and her price had been reduced. Reduced....to $50 lower than Garrett's winning number. We contacted the breeders immediately and drove to Idaho the next day. An unheard of price for a purebred Corgi and a family who wanted a ball of joy, it was meant to be. Like Marley, she became our beloved clearance puppy.

Pepper's first time meeting Us.

Ever since that day in January, Pepper has been one of our biggest reasons to smile, laugh, and cry joyously. Keep reading to hear more stories. <3
