It’s been quiet on our blog for the past couple of years, but please know that Em and Pie have still been adventuring as much as ever behind the scenes! My blog has been inching closer and closer to the … Continue reading
After our two senior weens ran to the Rainbow Bridge together last December, it felt difficult to imagine life without them. It wasn’t just the little daily quirks that we would miss, like Banana marching up the stair landing, the … Continue reading
In my last blog post, I detailed why we had chosen Banff as our vacation destination for our 10th wedding anniversary trip. We had been eager to take the pups along on one of our more grand vacations, and Banff … Continue reading
We chose Banff, Canada, as the vacation destination for our 10th wedding anniversary because we could combine two of our favorite things: our pups and the great outdoors. While traveling and flying from the United States to most destinations outside … Continue reading
