Happy Birthday, Tiki — and DogTipper!
Three years ago today we visited our local shelter and brought home a sweet 6-month-old puppy we named Tiki…and the rest is history! Not only did our family change that day but our careers did, too, as we launched DogTipper. Like Irie (and our cats Felix, Linus, Coco, and Inca), Tiki has taught us so much and given us so much laughter and love. Today we celebrated and baked a special cake (no small task in today’s 112 degree heat!) Happy birthday, Tiki!!
