Dakota (aka Cody), our namesake,
mascot, and top dog, 1991-2007
It's with great sadness that we announce the loss of our dear
companion and friend, Cody. She had trouble walking for the
past year and gave up that fight in early May, 2007. Her
memory and her faithful companionship will never be
forgotten. She will be greatly missed. Cody, we will love you
forever and feel honored to have known you. We gave you our
love and friendship and in return you gave us bonus years with
you...good dog.

Nemo
Well, what can we say about our smallest family member?
He's cute, he's fast, he's smart, and he's completely crazy!
He's definitely a cool cat who loves people and darts around
all day, infectiously entertaining anyone he meets. He couldn't
care less about food, as long as he gets some.

Meet Dakota
"bringing customer service back to south Florida"
Fargo!
Here he is, our newest family member...Fargo! If there's one
thing you can say about Fargo, it's that he leaves an
impression. It may be made by his very large, very white
teeth, but an impression nonetheless. He's a total ham for
the camera and has one mode...PLAY!! He's all border collie,
and a very big, very smooth one at that, and he's also all boy!
Since Fargo is such a big boy, he has very strong opinions
about his food too...he wants some and he wants it now!
