Tony Runs This House (Sort Of)

Tony’s the patriarch — a Yorkie who’s somehow father (and grandfather) to most of this crew. His pack includes Shadow the black lab, Vanilla Ice the blonde German Shepherd, Lulu (his Chihuahua-Shih Tzu mix partner-in-crime), their kids Loretta, Jamal & Rosita, Phil (Tony’s pup with a Pomeranian mom), and Lee, Phibi, Punchie & Chuie — it’s a lot, don’t ask. Then there’s Larry the cat, who supervises from a higher elevation and answers to no one, plus Hotch and Meno the turtles, who’ve seen things, and Blue and Einstein the birds, who have opinions. Sixteen animals means we’ve tried a lot of stuff. The bad stuff gets returned. The good stuff ends up here.
