More than just cute pet videos
We strive to be as honest as possible with our experiences,
both good and bad, to help you.
how it all started!
We always knew we want to raise our family alongside pets! To ensure our animals could get along better, we decided to get a cat and a Samoyed puppy around the same time.
Irene's mom actually gave the idea of making a YouTube channel for our pets. We loved showing how cute and fluffy our pets are, but we also wanted to do more than that. From the very beginning, we wanted to show the joys and struggles with raising a cat and a Samoyed, provide instructions and review on pet products, and ultimately, to help other pet owners experiencing the same issues we faced.
Believe us, raising a pet can be much more difficult than it looks, and can cause major strain in relationships. But we've learned and strongly believe that all cats and dogs can be happy, healthy, and obedient with time, patience, and the right structure. We hope we can be helpful and an encouragement to you!
Theo (formerly known as "Cheesecake") grew up as a community cat who spent the first year of his life living in someone's backyard alongside his mom and littermates. When feral a Tom-cat started threatening Theo and his family, the homeowner brought them into the shelter for safety. Two months later, Eric noticed a fluffy cat hiding in the corner shelf of the shelter, and it was love at first sight.
Theo can still be a shy at times, but he's definitely gotten more confident. He's also pretty vocal, especially when he sees a bird outside or has the zoomies!

about
Olaf was from a Samoyed breeder in Salinas, CA. We were given the choice between two male pups, and we loved how fluffy and (deceptively) calm Olaf was!
We soon learned how reactive and vocal Olaf can be - from demand barking for things, to barking at anything and everything that moved. With lots of patience and some private 1:1 training, we've been able to build our relationship with Olaf and improve his behavior.
