We're a whole lot of fun and fur! Meet the members of our little family...
We understand that the grass isn't greener on the other side; it's greenest where its nurtured and watered. And we take care of our grass! We celebrate our victories and grow from our challenges. We cherish each other and the life we've built together. We do what's right, not what's easy. We always tell the truth and keep our pinky promises. And we never go to bed without kisses and cuddles. Our hearts are full and our tails are wagging!
Hilary
Hi, friends! My name is Hilary ("Bee") and I've always tried to find the magic and beauty in nature, life, and everyday experiences. Going into my thirties, I've developed a profound appreciation for "the little things“ (cute characters, picking out a pumpkin, words of encouragement, fresh fruit, pretty flowers) and I've realized just how important it is to discover and share joy. That’s why I’m so excited to make TBK a reality!
A little bit about my journey: I was born and raised in Memphis, moved more times than I can count and graduated from East Aurora High School in 2009. I spent most of my twenties in college, desperate to figure out the direction of my life. I studied computer science and engineering for a few years until I decided I was depriving myself of something incredibly important: human interaction. I changed my major to psychology and graduated with my Bachelor’s in Psychology in 2016. Since graduating, I’ve worked for medical and insurance providers, doing my best to reduce stress and make people smile!
Between home and work, I’m quite the busy Bee. But on my free-time, you can find me doodling, digging in my gardens, admiring the night sky, dreaming about Disney, and relaxing with my husband (John) and our three pups (Daisy, Lily and Arrow.)
JOHN
John is a native of Western New York and was born and raised in Elma. John has over fifteen years of experience in the construction/contractor field, and has managed a well-known contractor supply warehouse for the past nine years. He is incredibly knowledgable, capable and dependable. He is admired by friends and family for his extraordinary abilities and work ethic. Give him a problem to solve and he'll solve it!
Lily
Lily is a female Siberian husky that's really just a "human trapped in a dog's body." She is incredibly smart, intuitive, and protective of her mama. Now eight years old, Lily enjoys napping, bird-watching, and basking in the sunshine.
Daisy
Daisy, our second husky flower, is our playful baby. Daisy is three years old and keeps everyone on their toes and paw pads! Daisy takes full advantage of our "dog park," and enjoys exploring, playing tag, and pouncing on her brother and sister.
Arrow
Our snugglebug! Arrow is a six-year-old border collie that loves cuddling, learning new tricks and pleasing his family. Unlike the girls, Arrow is fantastic off-leash and enjoys keeping watch and assisting with projects in the yard.
Lightheart Hill
In 2018, we found our beautiful home in Colden, New York, which we affectionally named Lightheart Hill; a testament to sincerity, love and light. We have spent the last five years nesting, renovating, planting and making the property our own little paradise. It’s also become quite the sanctuary for bees and butterflies!
Our "dog park"
When you love dogs as much as we do, and you have the property for it, a "dog park" just makes sense! Soon after moving into our home, we fenced-in a large portion of our yard. The space has since doubled in size, and is everyone’s happy place!
