The Journey Home

For weeks we’ve been waiting for my puppy to get old enough to leave her home and come to Asherpark. She was born at Chandrea Farms in eastern Washington, same place I was born. Her father is my stepbrother, so…

Our Journey

I was so excited when mom told me my puppy is a blue merle female. That means she looks like me and everyone will know she is MY puppy. “What are we going to name her?” I practically shouted in…
