Son of the Bride
Teddy is Jennifer’s first true love, and the light of her life. One day she went to the Greenville Humane Society to “just look,” and ended up finding her best friend. Teddy is terrier/chihuahua mix and about 10 years old. He loves laying in Jennifer’s lap, long walks, traveling with her anywhere she goes and dressing up in any costume, hat or other accessory Jennifer puts on him. He even sleeps with her every night! Teddy is a true mama’s boy and prefers her company over any other person or animal. He also loves Will, both sets of grandparents, his aunts and uncles, dog cousins and although he doesn’t like to admit it, his cat brother Petey and new brother puppy Baxter, too!
Son of the Groom
Although Will never saw himself as a cat dad, Petey is the light of his life! Will spotted Petey one day as a 1-pound kitten in the middle of the road. He stopped at the intersection, Jennifer jumped out and saved him from oncoming traffic, and although we don’t share this with Petey, we tried to take him to the local humane society or SPCA. Unbeknownst to us, it was kitten season and they turned us away citing they had too many kittens and cats and could not take anymore. We nervously took him to the vet to get checked on (he was so cute, afterall) and decided to take him home with us. The rest is history. He is now our 11-pound, big, tender loving boy. He loves Will, his family, watching squirrels and birds from the window, and catching bugs. We can’t imagine life without him!
Son of the Bride
Baxter is Jennifer's newest baby boy! While Jennifer never imagined she could love a dog as much as Teddy, she quickly learned how a parent's heart grows to love all her children!
