That’s Elin, peacefully sleeping dog. This is the swamp next to the cabin. Last Friday night we hopped in bed and Jay fell right to sleep. I was reading on my phone, quietly in the dark and Elin JUMPED up onto our bed right between us and stood there. Jay has gout and I did […]
Here she is as a little baby. Saturday afternoon she had a seizure and a stroke, and it wasn’t good. This rainbow magically appeared while we were at the vet. They took it as a sign. There was a quiet evening burial in the field. It’s the end of an era. Love and peace

Her special harness came in the mail with padded straps and handles at the shoulders and the hips so we can help her up and take weight off her knees. She doesn’t mind the harness at all, though sometimes she does not want help and makes a grouchy noise at us. Okay, fine. Friday
My beautiful dog is broken. She ruptured a key ligament in her left knee running in the snow at the cabin in October. Surgery was scheduled for January 6th.
