About Us
Me
Amy
I’m a Mom of 2 humans and 2 dachshunds who spends her days working as a Principal at Cuesta Partners, her nights as a personal driving assistant, and jam packs her weekends with practical needs and tries leave some space for adventure (golf on sunny days only). Oh, and I’m fortunate to have an adorable husband who keeps us all sane.
The Pups
Birdie & Bogey
We welcomed our 2 miniature dachshunds into the West family in 2023 on Masters Weekend and could’t resist giving these loving siblings names to remember. And yes, Birdie consistently outperforms her brother Bogey in the game of life and lives up to the high expectations of her name. My love for doxies began after 17 wonderful years with my childhood dog Buck (Bucky, Buckaroo)
The Fam
The Wests
The West family was born at Elon University, NC where Amy and Ryan met as next-door neighbors. We expanded our family in St. Louis, MO though the miracle called IVF and welcomed our firstborn Eli. Our family grew again in Chicago, IL though the grace of God and adoption process to welcome our youngest Mina. We currently reside in Elmhurst, IL.
