Several weeks, maybe even months, before we said goodbye to our sweet girl Jenna I started to think about how we would honor her when she was gone. She was a four-legged member of our family for more than 18 years, so I knew we needed to do something special. While it wasn’t the easiest […]

In the two weeks since saying goodbye to our beloved dog Jenna, Socks and I have gone on what I refer to as “healing” walks almost every single day.

Heartbreaking Update: We said goodbye to our sweet, beautiful Jenna on September 3, 2014. To say the past year with Jenna has been challenging would be an understatement.

I realize that I don’t really talk about my pets much online. We’ve had a few as a family, from cats to mice(ewww), to fish and dogs, but there’s one who’s been with us longer than any other and that’s our dog, Jenna. She’s been a part of our family since 1996, just before Cody’s […]
