In February 2024, an adoption ad for a little beagle popped up on my Facebook feed, and I knew that was my dog

I wasn't looking for a dog. We couldn't get another dog while we still had Zoe. She was 19 years old. What if the new dog wasn't nice to her? What if the new dog took too much time and attention away from her? With Frida, I knew in an instant that none of that would be a problem

I asked Morgan if we could please just go meet Frida. He told me he would MEET any dog

So we went to meet Frida at her foster in New West. When they opened their apartment door at the end of the hall, she ran straight into our arms. It was love at first sight for all of us. We took her home that same day. She was perfect for our little family, Zoe included

We loved everything about Frida, the way she melted into my lap on long car rides, her velvet ears, her soft snores with her head on our pillows, her howls, her play bites, everything. I didn't know it was possible to love another dog the way I loved my old beagle, Josie, but with Frida, it was easy. She was magic

I will never be okay with how brief our time with Frida was, but I am so thankful to have been able to take her on pack walks with her friends every day, for the road trips and horse shows with her, and even the time we spent at home together when we were both recovering from surgery. I will never regret choosing Frida. I would choose her all over again, in every lifetime

We love you, Frida. We always will 💜

We've been enjoying some R&R at the cabin lately

I am officially walking on my own two feet again. It will be a while before I'm ready to hike with the pack again, but recovery is going as well as possible

Frida needs some healing vibes sent her way today. She is currently heading into surgery to remove numerous bladder stones that didn't present with any obviously symptoms until last night. We're so worried about our girl, and just can't seem to catch a break right now 💔

As some of you know, over the May long weekend, I was involved in an ATV accident in which I sustained a severe, unstable fracture to my tibial plateau, and dislocation of my knee. I was hospitalized for several days in Kamloops and required surgery to repair my broken leg

My wonderful father, who just recently retired, has stepped up to walk dogs in my absence as an employee of Happy Trails. I am so unbelievably grateful to him for helping me keep my business open during this extremely difficult time

I also want to thank my clients for their well wishes, gifts, and offers for help. I feel incredibly blessed to have you all in my life

I have been given an estimated timeline of 3-6 months for recovery, and am doing everything I can to make sure I can get back to doing what I do best, as close to that 3 month mark as possible!

Thank you, everyone for your patience and understanding. Can't wait to see the pack again, whenever that may be ❤️
