Best Friends in the Nonahood: Here Come the Australian Shepherds!

May 8, 2024 by Patricia Reber

If anyone is a client of Pet Paradise, you probably already know Gregor Acta-Adams. Gregor is the front-of-house supervisor who greets everyone with a warm smile and welcomes each and every animal upon arrival as well. 

Gregor most recently married Leslie Massielle Acta-Adams. Gregor, who was born in Scotland, met Leslie during high school together in New York, and they reconnected eight years later online. They like to refer to their meeting as the “invisible string theory,” where two people are attached by an invisible string and destined to be brought together. Two days before they reconnected, Gregor adopted Starfire in 2018. They dated long-distance and stayed together as often as possible on weekends. Starfire wasn’t quite sure of this “other woman” in Gregor’s life and had an “accident” on Leslie. Some could say it was “baptism by Starfire.” Leslie, however, didn’t scare easily and moved in with Gregor later that year and softened the heart, or shall we say bladder, of Starfire until she was accepted into the household. Fast forward, Gregor and Leslie adopted a beautiful white Lynx Point Siamese cat named Luna followed by a rescued brown tabby kitten off the street named Orion. That wasn’t the end. Next came Cosmo the newest Shepherd. They say he is the sweetest boy.

As you can see from the photos, both Cosmo and Starfire were part of the wedding party of Gregor and Leslie’s beautiful wedding in Winter Park. Leslie’s mom wore a black, red-kissed dress for her wedding. Leslie wore an all-black dress and wore a black, red-kissed veil to pay homage to her mom. Everyone had tears in their eyes as she walked down the aisle, including Cosmo, who was the ring bearer. Gregor says Cosmo cried during their vows!! Starfire was happy just to watch the ceremony without any accidents!

Gregor and Leslie plan to continue their travels and look forward to introducing Cosmo, Starfire, Luna and Orion to a new little brother or sister one day. I believe they mean the human kind!
