Pet Corner | By Savannah Tradd
As long-time residents of downtown Windermere, Marcelino (Lino) and Celia Hoyo are dear members of our community. They are also the owners of Paloma Coffee and Pizza 14, two favorite local establishments on Main Street.
Meet their furry companions, Valentina and Corazón (Cora).
Valentina and Cora are Australian Miniature Labradoodles. Valentina is a friendly 2 1/2 year-old and light in color. Valentina brought so much joy to the Hoyos that when they heard that a puppy was available in Valentina’s bloodline, they decided to add another member to their family. They welcomed Cora, now 8 months old who fit right in.
Valentina and Cora (Spanish for heart) were both named for Valentine’s Day when the Hoyos got them, two years apart. Valentina and Cora are best friends, with their gentle loving personalities they are the perfect fit for the Hoyo family. When you see them downtown, don’t hesitate to say hello and give these delightful pups a friendly pat.
