Dog Run Update
After a trip to J.J. Byrne park this weekend, I’ve found out that the new dog run is not actually open yet. I have to assume that they are waiting for the ribbon cutting on Wednesday. As for now, even though it looks finished, it’s all locked up. Kids were using the skate park, soRead more

He is always joyous and interested in everything. All of his “puppy-isms” are totally normal and rooted in curiosity. Here he is investigatingRead more

G’Nite Charleston
I have to look at the positives in this situation (even though it’s tough). Charleston passed peacefully and he is no longer suffering. He left me the same way he entered my life… with his head in my lap. I don’t think I’ve told that story here, so here’s a brief re-cap. When he wasRead more
