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…

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…
