Hi, I’m Ricky—and this is Vaadle.
Vaadle sleeps on my bed, always down at the foot. But bedtime begins with a ritual: first he rubs against me, again and again, until I smell properly like him. Only then does he settle into his spot for the night.
He is just as particular about toys. Stuffed fish do nothing for him. Neither do those big toy bundles filled with tiny plastic balls and throwaway pieces—the kind that look abundant in a photo and feel like industrial clutter the moment the bag is opened. Vaadle wants to take part. He likes toys that respond to him, and he has never met a scratching board he did not want to investigate.
I started Petopia Dreams while choosing things for him. Today, our small team operates from Europe and works with partner suppliers and warehouses around the world. Vaadle still shapes the way I look at every featured find: a pet does not care how many pieces come in the box. He cares whether one of them makes the evening more interesting.
One thing they truly enjoy is worth more than a whole bag they ignore.
