Four years ago, on Ethan’s first birthday in heaven, the two dogs we had while he was alive had puppies. That day could have felt unbearably heavy, but I truly believe God allowed those puppies to come into the world to soften a very somber day. And it worked. The moment we saw them, our hearts felt lighter.
Today we celebrate four sweet birthday girls:
🎂 Happy 4th Birthday, Bella, pictured with her daughter, Grace
🎂 Happy 4th Birthday, Ember, pictured with her son, Harley
🎂 Happy 4th Birthday, Ginger, our sweet granddog
🎂 Happy 4th Birthday, Pepper, pictured with her daughter, Poppy
We are so incredibly thankful for the families who loved these puppies, raised them alongside us, and helped turn something born out of grief into something that continues to give back. Because of you, scholarships have been funded, lives have been impacted, and Ethan’s legacy continues.
We also kept Pecan, Ember’s baby, right here with us. 💛 And who knows… she may have a little fun in the near future.
Thank you to every family who said yes to loving one of these puppies and to being part of a story that will always mean so much to us.
Always choosing joy. 🤍
