Furbaby Friday 🐾

Meet this adorable 4-month-old Mini Poodle, owned by Cortney, Jennifer’s daughter and an Advance Planning Specialist! Cortney brought him home from a breeder in Jackson, Tennessee, and he’s already filled her home with so much joy.

While many memories are still to come, one of Cortney’s favorites is when he gets the zoomies—racing in circles around the apartment without a care in the world.

He’s spunky, playful, and loves attention, but he also has a bit of a scaredy-cat side. He refuses to jump off the couch or out of the car and will bark until Cortney comes to his rescue.

For such a young pup, he’s already learned quite a few tricks! He can sit, lie down, shake, play dead and even “woof” on command.

When it comes to treats, anything with peanut butter is an instant favorite. 🥜🐾

Furbaby Friday 🐾
Meet Nelson, Karsen and Megan's 3-year-old tabby cat.

Adopted from PetSmart, Nelson has been full of personality since day one. One of the most touching memories from his kitten days was when he broke his leg and held his mom’s hand with his paw the entire time until the hospital took him away. 💛

Nelson is the definition of attention-seeking. He’s incredibly cuddly, loves to steal food, and isn’t afraid to cause a little chaos around the house. He also has a very unique trait… he drools like crazy when he’s being pet or cuddled.

When it comes to food, Nelson isn’t picky, edible or not, he’s interested. And as the self-proclaimed king of the castle, he keeps busy ruling over (and occasionally annoying) his two sisters.

Life with Nelson is never boring! 🐾💛
