We live in Van Alstyne Texas just north of Dallas. We moved out of the city and into the country so that Marlo could be closer to her horse and parents. We wanted to raise our children in a country environment where every boy can play in the mud, ride four wheelers and have bonfires with friends.  The occasional paint ball war has happened as well.   
While raising our two sons, who were always on the go with multiple sports year round, the hope that a common bond of Marlo’s love affair with horses didn’t pan out. But, along the way we did find a common ground with dogs.  Chance and Marlo went to pick out our first Golden Retriever.

This little red  girl in the middle of all the blonde beautiful fluff of her sisters and brothers not only drew our eye but our hearts.  
Cheyanne came home to us and started our love affair. She went to baseball games, practices and then to Football practice. She made going to the dog park an adventure.
