I'm Rob Greves — a systems engineer by trade, a dog owner by calling. I live in Grapeview, Washington, with Zeus, and with Franky — "Frank the tank" — a cat who runs the house and answers to no one.

Zeus is an Idaho Shag — Border Collie and Australian Shepherd with a little Airedale in the mix — and like plenty of herding dogs he gets itchy, miserable allergy seasons. I'm not a veterinarian, and my guides don't pretend otherwise. What I am is the owner who had to build a system that worked — and a retired network man who taught security for a living. Everything in this store comes out of my own life and my own scars. If it isn't true, it isn't here.
