Shelby

Shelby is our 2nd child! Tyler and I love our dogs as if they were children! Shelby was a stray, that one of the guys on Tyler's boat found in his neighborhood. We had been talking about getting another dog at the time, but didn't know where life was going to take us! Tyler called me one night when he was on duty and asked if we could take Shelby in our home. I didn't know about it at the time because he was on duty that night and we had just gotten Georgia. Finally, he talked me in to taking Shelby in that night and life has not been the same since! We love both Georgia and Shelby lots!

Our Journey across the Country

When moving from Mobile, Al to Sitka, AK, we chose to drive across The United States. When we received our orders and got everything packed up, we drove from Mobile, AL to Lawrenceville, GA. We decided to take a month to visit with family and friends and begin our journey towards Alaska. After we visited all of our family and friends, we decided to head West. It was absolutely the most amazing time Tyler and I had together.
