As it is said, “When one door closes, another one opens” – and that is exactly the story of Kevin, the 8-month-old Bernedoodle who joined this family. When Juan, the sweet 17-year-old Chihuahua passed away, not only were Katie Garner and her fiancé, Ashley Romalho, at a loss but their other pooch, Anderson, also had anxiety over the loss. Anyone who has had to say good-bye to their fur baby knows this all too well. Enter Kevin, the extremely energetic, mischievous Bernedoodle who seemed to immediately fill the void!

Appropriately named after Kevin from Home Alone, Kevin keeps Katie and Ashley laughing with his funny antics. Katie, a meteorologist for Fox News, refers to him as “kind of a doof!” Juan would surely be happy to know Kevin is keeping everyone happy and laughing. Ashley, VP of Operations at a venture capitalist firm in Miami, says that Anderson suddenly has new joy in his life with the addition of Kevin. Kevin, very much like Katie, the energetic person, and Anderson (Andy), very much like Ashley being more laid back, definitely round off the household in the most positive way. 

You may have seen this family riding around town on their golf cart. In the evenings, they take their family rides around the lakes with the “boys.” You cannot miss Kevin, since he is black and white and looks like a panda bear. It might be hard to tell who is more excited about the ride, Katie or Kevin!! Be sure to wave and yell “hello” the next time you see this “happy cart.” Katie and Ashley love bringing their “boys” to the great dog parks in the Nonahood and have thoughts of planning a “happy hour” for the “Paw-Rents” in the future, so stay tuned for the “Pooch and Paw-Rents” social coming to a park near you!!! I’m sure Ashley will handle the operations of the event, but Katie, please make sure it doesn’t rain that day!
