… a very Good day
I just finished walking the 3-mile loop in honor of Kiera’s second year on the other side. I still miss her every single day. And I still deeply appreciate every single day that I got to share with her.
Some beings just leave that kind of permanent imprint on you… Like an invisible tattoo that marks you, but only you can see.
Kiera would have immensely enjoyed today’s walk–not just because it was a beautiful sunny day– but because everything … Read More
Wish Dog Powered Scooters Had Been Invented When Kiera Was Young
When Kiera, my Austrialian Shepherd, was young, Andrew and I would take turns every day taking her for a run. Not each of us every other day.

The answer, revealed on Tuesday in a journal published
Pet First Aid App
It’s been an interesting week. We’ve been fighting hard to bring Finn back from the brink of death and he’s finally out of the woods (more on that in another post), and Cait has been very chatty about the movie, Into the Storm.
So combine one very sick animal and a wacko weather movie, and you won’t be surprised that I went looking for an app like this. It’s a great little app. If you decide to download it, … Read More
