Loaf turned 3 on Sunday!

Happy Birthday to our favorite little baguette, Sir Loafington! We celebrated this vivacious dude with his very own special treat from . Of course we also celebrated with apples, carrots, lots of love and extra time baking in the sunshine. We checked out the new, bigger brush piles, and chased each other around the trails. We're so happy we got to be a part of his celebration!

Happy Birthday bud, we love you so stinking much!

Peep that side-eye 😂😂

Hazel turned 8 last week!

Happy Birthday to our favorite awkward little duckling! We celebrated her 8th rotation around the sun with an extra weekly hike, a special cookie, and of course she got to ride shotgun all by herself, just how she likes it. We gave her extra freedom to run, roam, and roll in the smellies. She zoomed the trails and then snoozed all the way home. We hope you had the best day sweetpea!

Happy Birthday Hazey Daisy!

An Alto Update:

Take a moment to sit down, brace yourself, and take a deep breath. I've been avoiding this post for weeks now, as it breaks my heart to have to write this news. I wish I was bringing you a positive update, but unfortunately, this is not that.

Our sweet baby boy, old man Alto, is sick. The kind of sick you don't recover from. He's been having a lot of digestive issues that we hoped would clear up by avoiding certain foods, deterring the consumption of mystery treasure, and eating a special diet. Unfortunately, even while closely monitoring his intake, he was still having digestive upset. Upon further investigation, our boy is experiencing a few other very serious ailments. He's got a thickening of the stomach lining, along with growths on his gallbladder and his adrenal gland. Sadly, the professionals are not recommending treatment for him 💔
We don't know how long our boy's got, but we're going to give him the absolute best until his body says, "No more." We'll hike with him every day that he desires to go, and he'll get a fresh cozy blanket to cozy up in during our pick-ups, as he absolutely loves snuggling under a blankie. Keep him, his brother Frankie, and their family in your thoughts. Hug your babes a little tighter tonight. They truly don't get enough time with us.

Little post-hike van clip fer ya, featuring the tender affection between two lovebirds.
I think we're all just searching for a love like Linkin & Hester's. Two independent souls that always make their way back to each other. Watching Linkin love her is my favorite. No matter what she gets into, no matter how much time apart, no matter how much space she takes, he's always there in the end, and she always comes back to him.

Baby Bailey Boy turned 4 this week!

Happy Birthday to this wild boy, who I cannot believe is 4 years old. When I first met Bailey, he was 6 months old, and we were both hiking with a different company. After two years, his family and I reconnected, and he immediately snuggled up next to me and had a little nap on my lap. We knew that having him join my pack was the right decision. He and Ducky quickly became close and I'm grateful every day for the events that brought us all back together. We celebrated with a little trip to where he picked out a special something for himself.

Happy Birthday baby boy!!

Cookies from always! They make the cutest and most delicious dog treats.

Cheers to another year of living my dream life!
Getting to be in the woods every day for the last two years with these incredible dogs is truly an amazing gift. What a privilege it is to have so much love & support from so many wonderful people who give me a chance every day to build a better relationship with their best friend. Thank you to everyone involved in this dream. Even if you don't feel like a significant piece in this puzzle -- you are! This wouldn't be possible if it weren't for each and every one of you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
