We can't make this up.....

A couple of years ago, prior to moving to Colorado, Jace adopted a dog from the shelter in Amarillo. In order to keep the Ford dog name theme, he named his little angel Shelby.

Shelby (the human) was already living the Colorado dream. Around the same time, she rescued a dog named Flynn.

In early 2023, both Jace and Shelby (the human) happened to be sitting one table apart at a local dog park/brew pub. Since Shelby (the dog) is a menace, Jace was yelling at her, "SHELBY, SHELBY, QUIT EATING THEIR BURGER!! DROP IT SHELBY!! COME HERE SHELBY" Shelby (the human) was startled that this strange man was screaming her name, and stared at this random guy. Jace and Shelby (the human) laughed as they realized that both the dog and the human shared the same name.

They went on their first date later that week, and the rest is history!
