In December 2022 Erin reached out to Nick, a recent match on a dating app. She asked him if he’d like to go out. She knew it was a bold move, as a woman, asking this wonderful man on a date. She anxiously waited for his reply. Nick saw her message and dropped what he was doing so he could take this beautiful woman out to a nice dinner. After their meal, they realized they enjoyed each other’s company so much, they decided to not end the date there! They bonded over their favorite video games and anime; It felt so natural and fun. Erin went home that night with a smile, wondering when she would see him again. The very next day, they went on a second date! Erin being the animal lover she is, she couldn’t help but ask, "Can I bring my puppies?” Erin’s dogs are the very heartbeat of her existence, the irreplaceable anchors in her world, without whom life would feel empty and devoid of purpose. She could tell Nick was about to become a very important part of her life as well. They needed to meet. He agreed and was honored to meet her fur babies. They spent the day together, bonding over video games and anime; and of course how sweet the puppies are. It was like they had already known each other for years. That was the start of something they never expected, but now can’t imagine their lives without.
