Life Plus Dogs

10 years passed by in the blink of an eye. It feels like just yesterday I brought Bitty home to ‘foster’, and it wasn’t long before she informed me that I was her person and she was staying here.

10 years wasn’t enough, but no amount of time would have been. We always knew loving Bitty had a time limit, that’s a fact you learn to face really early on when you choose to love a dog who has a bad heart. You never know how long you have, and so you just kind of do your best to appreciate every day.

Bitty appreciated all her days. She made the most of her time here, she bossed everyone she could find to boss, she ate as much Taco Bell lettuce as we’d let her, she had backpack adventures, she went to the beach to live our her beach babe dreams…

And now she’s gone and my lap feels empty and my heart has this giant hole in it.

Thank you to everyone who loved Bitty with us. She was a once in a lifetime kind of character. 🫶🏻😭

It’s officially fall, and that means time to swap our summer gear for cooler weather things…

Harper is very much a sunshine and warm weather girl (same, really) and this is maybe one of my favorite pics I’ve gotten of her.

Her favorite season. Her favorite person. Look at that smile!
