Mortimer J. Hugs is a pembroke welsh corgi who failed out of Hearing Dog School...

... to become a full-time asshole by one year of age. 

He has all the intelligence to be a hearing dog, but none of the obedience.

Born on the Michigan/Ohio border, Morty's talent as a model was discovered by Aer in 2023. Wary of the camera at first, it took only a few photo-shoots (and treats) for Morty to adopt the set like he was born on it. He has several cue commands when we're working such as "head up", "scoot here", and "perfect!". 

When not modeling, Morty is relatively well-behaved. He enjoys fetch, anything edible, and attention (but only on HIS terms). 

Note: To reduce strain and stress from the lights, Morty only shoots in 10 minute increments. No corgis are harmed in the making of this website or jewelry!

Aer Rudy is a millenial who lives in Wisconsin... 

i grew up openly gay, like an idiot, rural appalachia during the Dubya administration. a chaotic home life meant i spent a lot of my childhood in nature or, once i got a car at 16, the road. 

i discovered that i was trans one november night in 2009, during a drag show that my college GSA was putting on. i came out three days later, and have been 'out' ever since. 

escape came in the form of Detroit - at the age of 23, i moved to Michigan. Detroit was amazing and i miss it dearly. circumstances beyond my control brought me to Wisconsin in 2020. 

i have an almost laughably random assortment of skills and a background like a bad comic strip character. after losing a lot of my physical mobility to disability and being forced to face a lot of hard truths beyond the physical, i'm putting all my spaghetti on a plate and throwing it at a wall to see what sticks.

it took me nearly three decades to learn how to pick my fights, but i think that me and Morty are ready to begin the next chapter of our lives - and the world is invited <3
