It’s that time again yall! This will be our family’s 4th year walking in memory of our son in law Joe and our friends who are still in this fight against cancer. Please join us in walking and/or donating to our goal this year. All proceeds go to Your Story Foundation an organization that helps cancer patients and their families with financial assistance for treatments, transportation, and so much more.

I received very sad news this week that one of our pack friends passed away.
When I work with your dogs they truly become a part of my pack and I hold them in my heart forever. Even when yall move away like Zeke and his family did. So my heart broke when Zeke’s owner contacted me to give me the news. The loss of a pet is always hard but I always like to think of how blessed they were to have had a family that loved them until the very end. And how blessed are we that we were loved so unconditionally. Thank you to Zeke’s family for allowing us to be even a small part of his life. See you over the bridge one day buddy. Save us a spot and a snuggle ♥️
