FRIDAY – DECEMBER 20, 2013 Charlotte crossed the rainbow bridge this afternoon. I held her close…I kissed her face…I scratched her all over and tried to burn all the specialness of her earthly body into my memory. My little hoppy girl started to slow down a few weeks ago. On Sunday she fell down the…

WATSON 2007 – June 8, 2016 We only had about 6 weeks together, but that was long enough to fall in love with this gentle boy. He was a happy boy who always greeted me (and indeed, everyone) with a wagging tail and a kiss. He was, of course, still an airedale so there were…

A happy puppy to the end, Vijay was a great dog. He was a true hunter with amazing prey drive (we kept a GPS on him in case he escaped), but he loved his family, both human and canine.  He will be missed.

St. Clair05/12/03-07/31/17St. Clair was not your typical Airedale. She was always more on the quiet side, rarely pulling any of the antics Airedales are famous for. Everyone that met her always commented on what a “sweet soul” she was. She loved her walks everyday, even when they grew shorter as she gracefully aged. She loved going to…

We met Tom and Theresa yesterday in Nashville to pick up Bridget. We had been going to stay in Nashville but we ended up meeting early enough in the afternoon that we decided to drive on down to Birmingham to Kent’s sister’s house. That would put us much closer to home today. Here she is on…
