I am absolutely shattered to share we lost our sweet Sydney this morning. She crossed OTRB surrounded by love.
Travel well sweet girl. You’re loved. You will be missed.

I’m beyond gutted to share Sydney’s condition is terminal at only 1.5 yrs old. It’s complicated. I can’t process this yet. It will be 1-day at a time. We’ll continue treatments. I’ll savor each day until there are no more. Tonight I just need to cry/ hold her. It was a hard day.

Service dog handlers often put the safety and comfort of their service dog over thier own. I know the desert well - having done extreme desert adventures.
@sampson_dog
does not. It is my responsibility to teach and acclimate him about/to our new desert world.

Service dogs aren’t robots. Handlers take great care ensuring thier service dog is healthy, safe & happy. Mom’s an experienced desert adventurer. I’m a Midwest floof. She’s acclimating me slowly to new terrain & temperature. We went on our 1st desert hike!! Best! Day! Ever!

- Give your name THEN phone number
- BRIEF reason for calling

As a Wolfie parent of sweet Sydney I feel this to the core. Actually followed this story in real time on a FB page. I can’t imagine the agony of the days Fergus was missing - and the emotion by both Mom and Fergus reunited 😭😭😭❤️
Nashville, TN:
Elderly Fergus had gone missing on Saturday after a car rear-ended the McKay family car with Fergus riding in the back.
Startled, he ran off.
But thanks to the community Fergus was reunited today.
He actually cried he was so happy...

Pro tip: If you are applying for a professional position and sent in a resumé make sure your voicemail greeting isn’t- “I’m busy - don’t bother me - I probably won’t call you back.” Or worse. 😬

Major score of the day! Rainbow vegan GF sprinkle donuts 50% off!
