What has been the greatest blessing your dog has brought to your life?
Yogi Bear has brought a softness to our busy world — a reminder to slow down, laugh more, and find joy in the little things. As luxury real estate agents, our schedules can be unpredictable, but Bear keeps us grounded. His goofy personality, unconditional love, and warm presence have been a constant source of comfort. He turns even the most stressful days around with just one tail wag or snore. The greatest blessing? He’s shown us that success feels sweeter when you’re sharing it with someone who loves you just because you’re you.
How did your dog come into your life, and how has your relationship grown over time?
We’ve always been a doodle family, so when Yogi Bear came to us from Moss Creek, he instantly felt like home. From day one, he had a way of making everything more fun — running into walls, snoring like an old man, or flopping dramatically across our heads at bedtime. Over time, he’s gone from “our dog” to “our everything.” We base our days around him, our dinners, even our drives (he always gets shotgun). The bond has only grown deeper, and so has our understanding that love doesn’t always come in words — sometimes it’s just a paw on your knee.
Tell us about your dog—name, breed, and what makes them special to you.
Yogi Bear is our 4-year-old goldendoodle and the absolute heart of our family. He’s equal parts gentle, floofy, and ridiculous — think: 30 rabbit toys, oversized seal plushies from HomeGoods, and a dramatic flair for naps. What makes him so special isn’t just how adorable or hilarious he is — it’s the way he connects us. Whether he’s joining us on showings, curled up by our feet at the end of a long day, or charming the baristas out of pup cups, Bear is more than a pet. He’s our co-pilot, comic relief, and our daily dose of love.
