In Remembrance

Dogs that I have the great pleasure of encountering on my trail in life. And we have hopefully parted to bigger and better things. My home is always open to strays and I tend to accept any passerby but always try to unite them back to the family that misses and loves them. 

 “I once heard a woman who had lost her dog say that she felt as though a color were suddenly missing from her world: the dog had introduced to her field of vision some previously unavailable hue and without a dog, that color was gone. That seemed to capture the experience of loving a dog with eminent simplicity. I'd amend it only slightly and say that if we are open to what they have to give, dogs can introduce us to several colors with names like wildness, nurturance, trust and joy.”

Gabe: Good luck buddy on your new home in Washington and your new pack mates!

Hudson-Maximus: I am sorry the system failed you I hope you are now at peace. Please know that you brought joy and happiness to all those who interacted with you.

Silly lost doodle who wandered into a horse barn that I happened to be in I hope that your life with your family is wonderful and you don't wander off again.

“If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons. ” ― James Thurber

Mrs. Zippi: my mothers dog who I have had the great pleasure of caring for for 3 years before having to move away and giving her to my father. Where she may become fat and untrained and unbearably happy. My first experience in the hunting world thank you for making it a good one.


Jazz: You silly little doxy I snatched after making an illegal U turn across 6 lanes of traffic and climbed into the bushes. Glad I found you a week after you had been lost I am glad you made it back to your family.

Sammy: $500 and 13 teeth pulled later I am glad I got you for a few months. The vets still like to know how you are :)
