Meet the Pair:
1. take us through your morning routines together…
Every morning, my alarm goes off at 6:30 and Marlo jumps up with me and snuggles for a total of one minute before making me get out of bed and taking her outside. We roam, we take a nice little walk every morning. We come back and we make breakfast. I'll make my breakfast, feed her, and we eat at the same time. She only eats whenever I eat. So, I have to make sure to eat with her every morning and every evening.
Then, she because then she's a Blue Heeler mix, we have to spend a lot of time outside. IN the afternoon, we typically go play fetch in the field. Also, usually go for a walk in the evening and then we will watch TV for a little bit. We will sit there, and do some stretches. Then, at night she goes to her room, AKA kennel, and sleeps there and won't sleep in bed with me! It's very rude.
2. do you ever dress a like?
whenever I do dress her, she won't move. She's like thinks something's happening that's really wrong. And she literally looks frozen. Like she just saw something and she just froze. She will not move. It's the funniest thing. We don't dress her up. She gets scared.
3. what is your favorite things to do together?
Favorite thing to do together is take road trips. She sits right in the center console, and is like my little co-pilot.
4. what is something Marlo does that gets on your nerves?
She whines.. She does whine a lot. She talks to you. If she wants something, she will sit there and whine until she gets it.
5. how long have you been together?
Six years.
6. does your pet inspire you? if so, how and why?
She does. She makes me a lot calmer and she makes me want to come home at night, which I think is a good thing for anyone.
7. if you and your pet were an iconic duo who would it be and why?
Thelma and Louise, just because we're bad to the bone. We'll take down anyone.
We don't mess around.
8. what is the most meaningful experience you have shared with your pet either directly or indirectly?
I think it's just, we travel together, we go on hikes together, and we get to go explore together. I take her to Arkansas all the time where my family lives and they have property out there, so she gets to roam and have a lot of fun. Just that experience together is the most meaningful to me.
9. If someone is on the fence about bringing a dog into their life, what would you two tell them?
I'd say dogs are the best thing that you can have and do for yourself.
10. If you and Marlo are having a movie night in, what are you watching?
Planet Earth
11. is there anything else that you would like to add about you and Marlo's relationship?
I think we just have the best understanding of each other. You know? I think that dogs really get you and they're there for you. Then, all you need to do is show them love, give structure, and they're going to be like the best thing for you, individually.
