    Our Next Adventure in Hong Kong & Adopting Fur Babies

    Send us a text Andrew and Sabrina share their move to Hong Kong, where they squeezed into a tiny apartment.  They adopt Tofu, a scrawny, trembling kitten left behind at an adoption event. Tofu quickly became the boss, hiding in desks, sneaking into neighbors’ homes, and turning cat haters into superfans. By the time they move  to New York, Tofu had neighbors begging to keep him—though they weren’t ready to part ways with their mischievous feline. Not content with just one chaos agent, they adopted Pretzel (Bretzy), a caramel-colored puppy with a permanent grin. Tofu was suspicious at first, but soon they were inseparable, delighting passersby as the ultimate dog-and-cat duo. Tofu taught Pretzel tricks like opening doors, while Pretzel took Tofu’s antics in stride, always the gentle giant. The couple hilariously compare their pets’ dynamic to their own relationship, joking about picking up each other’s quirks, like naked German strolls and Asian snacking habits. They wrap up the episode with heartwarming laughs, celebrating their pets’ big personalities, world travels, and the unforgettable chaos they bring to life.
