We Give Thanks

So many dogs, so many memories. Each canine soul opened our hearts, made us laugh, and ultimately left us groaning through our tears as we said good-bye to them one by one. It has been a lifetime of muddy paw prints, nose smears on windows, barks, and happy chaos. Each dog taught us something...

Rest In Peace

Asher February 7, 2006 – June 15, 2017   Asher was diagnosed with advanced lymphoma on June 8th. The disease ravaged his body but could not touch his sweet soul. Neither surgery nor chemotherapy were viable options. Besides, he wanted to spend his last days chasing imaginary coyotes at Asherpark with his beloved Journey. During...

What Now?

I turned eleven on February 7th. I’m officially a ‘senior’ dog, though nobody has bothered to tell me what that means. I’ve had some sports injuries and I can’t jump like I used to, but I can still outrun Journey when we race down the driveway. Mom says she and I are now at...

Time Moves On

Time Moves On

Time is a tricky thing. It brings you the future but it also takes away the present. I’m just a mutt, but I know that time doesn’t heal all wounds. Some things can’t be fixed. Some losses are forever. It’s been five months since Shiloh left us. I miss that little girl every day....

Heart Full Of Sorrow

Heart Full Of Sorrow

Sometimes I get to thinking too much and it makes my head hurt. When Tess was with me I’d play some bump and run with her and forget about what made me sad. Now I’m sad because Tess isn’t with me anymore. I’m so grateful I have Journey. She can’t replace Tess but she...

I’m Leaving Now

I always knew this day would come, I just didn’t know when. Endings come too fast when you’re happy, and I’ve been so very happy at Asherpark. It’s a beautiful warm sunny day. It’s the kind of day that makes your heart ache for something you can’t quite explain. I’m leaving this evening. Mama...

Remembering

She was my one true love. Nobody can ever replace Tess in my heart. I loved everything about her: the good, the bad, and the silly. We were joined at the hip and heart. We did everything together except run off to the ravine. Despite all her flaws, Tess never dug under the fence...

Don’t Know What To Say

I just read Journey’s first Bark. Wow! I knew that little mutt was special, but she never told me about meeting Tess on the rainbow bridge. I’m having a hard time putting it all together. It’s like part of Tess came back in Journey’s body, but I can’t figure out what that means. It kinda...

This has been a hard month for Ash. It was one year ago that he lost his best friend, Tess. I know it’s on his mind even though he can’t bring himself to talk about it. For months there had been something not quite right with Tess. Mom took her to four different vets...

We Are One Now

Did you ever want something so bad you couldn’t even talk about it? Just thinking about it made your heart ache? Since Mama and Shiloh showed up three years ago all I ever wanted was for us to get along as a pack. When you’re a pack you move together, you think the same...
