Andrea on the way to meet Shane for the very first time

On our first trip to Scottsdale, Arizona

From our first trip to Arizona, taken at the hotel that we would eventually return to to get engaged

In Sedona when Andrea first learned how intrepid Pebbles is

Discovering our love of hiking together in Sedona. Not far from the location that we would get engaged at in a few short years

Up until this moment, Andrea claimed she didn't like dogs. There was no turning back after this.

We have traveled many places together over the years. Here we were for our first international trip, all the way to London

Andrea's love of her dogs is undeniable. Here she is trying to match outfits with Pebbles

COVID changed our lives in many ways, and made us think outside of the box. Some challenges were big, some were small. Shane had to figure out how to open decades old alcohol.

During the height of COVID we enjoyed many walks along the lake front, including to the Planetarium. At this time, we had no idea that we would be getting married there a few short years later.

Its moments like this that made Andrea an irrevocable dog lover.

We were seriously thinking about opening up a dog grooming business. Thankfully we did not quit our day jobs.

Andrea is not amused.

Shane's journey to growing out his hair begins.

Shane thought he should also grow a beard along with his hair.

Andrea made Shane shave his face, something we can all be thankful for.

Golfing in St. George. Pebbles waking up, getting ready to hit the green.

The after shot of golfing in St. George. Pebbles was the champion who was the only one who managed to bring some golf balls home.

Over the years we have traveled to many national parks. Pictured here is Bryce.

Not even Pebbles is excluded from our love of the national parks.

Despite appearances, Pebbles was the only one with energy left.

After our dog grooming business folded, Pebbles had to go back to the professionals.

Shane's hair journey continues with headbands.

To this day, nobody is really sure what was so funny.

The bonds of love continue to deepen.

Andrea is obsessed with this photo.

Pebbles and Shane decided to teach Andrea how to sail.

Pebbles is a great teacher.

As work from home became the new norm, Pebbles decided that she too could go to work.

Shane was very proud of himself for finishing this puzzle. He claims it was in record time, not that anyone ever kept a record.

For Andrea, no dog is ever too small...or big. Her cousins also love her back.

Pebbles is on of the boys...

Pebbles and Shane always enjoy their time in Colorado.

This is one tired puppy.

Pebbles discovered her love off piñatas, as one hangs for her on her second birthday.

The adventures continue as Shane and Pebbles stand on the runway of Watertown Regional Airport.

Our very first adventure in Utah began in Arches National Park

Shane and Andrea compete for best hair.

The adventured continued to Canyon Lands.

No matter how cold and wet it will be, nothing can stop our adventures.

Pebbles would prefer the rain.

The family grew as Andrea fell in love at first site. This was before we knew her name would be Lucky.

No trip is complete without a visit to a national park. Here we are at Gateway Arch National Park.

One of the last photos before Andrea sold her place.

Santa Barbra can bring a smile to anyone's face.

Pebbles is desperate to see that sunset.

With a glass of wine and a view like that, Shane is happy with his birthday present to Santa Barbra.

Wine tasting is exhausting.

California wine is Andrea's favorite.

Hot and sweaty on Channel Islands, where Pebbles has been the first and only dog to ever visit.
