cat correspondent & svp, investigative research

When she’s not busy sampling gourmet cat food and testing luxury cat beds and scratching posts – or napping in the sun – Violet happily devotes herself to investigative journalism of the highest order. No box is too big to jump into. No crevice is too small to squeeze into. If there’s a mouse or a story about the world of luxury as it pertains to cats out there, you can be sure Violet will find it.

yardley thomas-graham

svp, happiness & hugs and chief office greeter

Yardley has been a contributor to Dandelion Chandelier since he was a wee puppy. He has been the catalyst for our coverage of holiday gifts for dogs, gourmet dog food, Gucci dog apparel and more. His key duty, though, is ensuring that staff morale remains high, that anyone who needs positive reinforcement immediately receives it, and that no one gets past him into the office without a complete smell check.
