BERT & ERNIE BEST FRIENDS
Opposable thumbs,
zero authority.
A dog and a cat who communicate with AAC buttons — and apparently have a lot to say.
Meet Bert (Mini Bernedoodle, prima ballerina energy) and Ernie (DSH rescue cat, CEO of everything). Follow along as they press buttons, file complaints, and remind Robin who’s really in charge.
The Household
Meet the Team
Robin owns the house. Bert and Ernie own Robin.
Three roommates.
One Instagram account.
What started as a curious dog and a skeptical cat sharing a living room has turned into something genuinely special — a friendship, a communication experiment, and a whole lot of button-pressing. Robin documents all of it. Bert and Ernie tolerate her presence.
Bert
Mini Bernedoodle · 5 years · He/HimShort coat, curly ear floof, teddy bear tuft on top. Bert arrived with devotion and prima ballerina energy. He is extremely gentle, deeply sensitive, and sincerely believes that love is the answer — and also that treats are the answer.
Ernie
Gray & White DSH Rescue · He/HimGray and white with the bearing of a mid-level executive who has seen things. Ernie is actually running this operation. He files complaints, takes selfies on security cameras, and has never once asked permission for anything.

They Have Opinions.
