We had to say goodbye to the dogs of my boys' childhood, our beloved cattledog lab mix sisters, Hallie and Cassie.
Hallie crossed the Rainbow Bridge first, about three years ago. We worried about little Miss Muffin being alone knowing her Cassie would sooner than later follow her Sister Hallie. We kept our hearts open to finding a companion for Muff.

With the help of my friend Sean and a wonderful rescue organization in Napa (Whiskers, Tails & Ferals) this little guy came into our lives on Valentines Day a couple of years ago.

but this little guy has added so much to our lives, it helps take the sting out of missing Hallie and Cassie. I can't imagine our day to day without him.
Support your local shelter, here's mine, or rescue organization like whiskerstailsandferals.org.
Life is so much better with a dog. Or two.
Thank you to the dogs of my childhood, and for parents that understood and encouraged the joy and comfort they brought to our lives, as well as fostering our love for all animals.

Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation, and almost as good for the soul as prayer. Dean Koontz
