“Chihuahua and a min pin, those are the 2 worst breeds you could ever cross, why in the world would anyone ever do that?..”
We heard this over and over in the last (almost) 14 years…Until they met him.
The truth is, that breeding created THE most magical little being we could have ever wished for.
Unfortunately, on Sunday afternoon, we had to say goodbye to Linden, the sheriff of our farm, our honorary lab, the black beauty that has greeted all of our customers most days over the last 10 years.
He was a little guy tipping the scales at just over 10 lbs, but his presence was huge and his impact on our lives and our hearts was massive.
Every dog we have the pleasure of owning holds a special place in all of us, but Linden… he was out of this world. I’m not sure how we got so lucky to be blessed with a dog like him, but we did, and we knew how lucky we were.
We thought we had more time, we wanted more time, we begged for things to be different, we prayed he’d take a turn for the better. It just wasn’t meant to be. Linden was surrounded by the 3 moms that loved him every single day. We helped him cross over to that beautiful rainbow bridge, now free from pain, now free from suffering, now free to continue being his stoic little self.
Linden, our handsome and perfect guy, I hope you knew how amazing you were, I hope you felt just as lucky as we did.
Our hearts will be forever broken without you with us earth side.

Penny got picked to do the school pickup today ❤️😍

Penny and Nikki, my girls❤️ (Loonie is still in her pen at night, she can’t be trusted to not make a disaster of the house)
It is so easy to get caught up in the day to day craziness and time is just flying by so fast I feel like I can’t keep up.
Lately, Nicola has been asking questions about why dogs don’t live longer than they do and she is petrified at the thought of losing our Penny.
This week she has changed up her bedtime routine of me sitting with her until she falls asleep, to cuddling penny and going to sleep on her own.
Penny is our free spirited farm girl who would prefer to run/walk the property, free of rules and direction. She can open cupboards, jump up and stretch her neck to impossible lengths to steal food, and takes every opportunity to seek out a crumb she could taste or a whole meal to devour as quick as possible before she runs away with With zero care of repercussions.
She is a fantastic dog and one of the most patient, soft and sweetest girls.
But.. when nik turns off the lights and asks pen to get on the bed, she even surprises me:
She will NOT leave Nikki’s side, they always have to be touching. Penny will give the room
A quick smell and scan to see if there is any hidden food she can steal later. But she stays close to Nikki until they wake up in the morning.

I am so lucky to not only have my penny, but I get to live life with her daughter, Loonie.
Plus, my little human creation is pretty amazing too.
Show us some of your best dog pictures in the comments!❤️
