Both of our sweet pups have passed, both in January 2018. It has been a horrible month/year/existence. This has been a post I have been avoiding, and I haven’t had the emotional capacity or strength to put something together. Sammi lost her battle to Hemangiosarcoma on January 1st, 2018. She lived long enough to see […]
Post Bleed Update – Rest is Key
