Although our families knew each other and we both attended St Thomas Aquinas elementary school, our paths never officially crossed until 2019. Mary Kate reluctantly agreed to accompany her mom to the dog park with her furry niece, OnaMae. Of course her mother knew someone when they entered the dog park and began to chat it up with a woman sitting on the bench. That woman was Billy's mom. They started talking about internships and next thing you knew, Billy was putting Mary Kate's number in his phone so that he could connect her with some lead. Mary Kate fell in love with Honey and Buddy that day, and just as quickly, Honey, Buddy, and Ona's humans were in love and getting married!
