Puppy Love

Meet the Garcia Family’s Perfect Little Loves, Elliott and Oliver!

For the past 5 ½ years, the Garcia Family has called the Edinburgh home. Their love for the vibrant community and close-knit connections is evident—a perfect backdrop for their family’s journey with two extraordinary pets: Elliott and Oliver.

Elliott: The Seasoned Gentleman
Elliott, a 12-year-old blonde Maltipoo, has been a cherished member of the family since December 2012. His arrival was nothing short of magical, quite literally—Elliott flew in from the North Pole as a gift from Santa. Over the years, he has become a staple in the family’s memories, especially for Kya and Lio, who have grown up with him by their side.

Oliver: The Spirited Descendant
Fast-forward nearly 12 years to December 2024, when Elliott’s great-great-great-great-grandson, Oliver, joined the family. A six-month-old ball of energy, Oliver has inherited his elder’s charm and spirit. This blonde Maltipoo quickly became Elliott's perfect companion, bringing youthful exuberance to the Garcia home.

What’s in a Name?
The names Elliott Gus and Oliver Jaq hold a special significance. Kya selected their middle names from one of her childhood favorite movies, Cinderella. She picked their names from Cinderella’s loyal mouse friends, adding a whimsical touch to their already endearing personalities.

Talents and Tricks
Elliott and Oliver have unique talents, but the showstopper must be Oliver’s ability to dance. Walking on his hind legs for a snack has entertained the family and inspired Elliott to join in on the fun. Together, their “dance parties” have become a highlight at family gatherings, proving that you’re never too old—or young—to groove.

Favorite Activities
Elliott and Oliver’s days are filled with adventures around the neighborhood. A favorite pastime is joining the other Binghurst puppies for daily tours of the cul-de-sac. Whether on a mission to find squirrels or make new friends among passersby, their outings are a joyful spectacle for all who see them.

A Bond Beyond Words
While it’s hard to pick a single favorite memory, Elliott’s role in the family’s story stands out. He has been steadfast through the children’s milestones, making his bond with the family irreplaceable. 

Elliott and Oliver embody the spirit of love, loyalty, and community that defines our community. They are not just precious pets; they are living treasures.
