After having 11 Boxer Kids that all lived well into their golden years, our first French Bulldog, “Mickey-Walker” literally dropped dead without warning before his 5th birthday.
A departure to Juneau, Alaska came that evening after this brutal experience so my husband and I chose to go rather than be in an empty home. This sunset (above), our first evening at Shelter Island, brought tears to our eyes and a sense of confusion for how the Universe works.
Being an active part of the Honolulu dog community and participating in AKC Conformation Shows, Obedience Trials, as well as teaching for 30 years. First with an established obedience training club, then for over a decade part of our own “For the Love of Dogs” Training Program, I normally had connections on where to get our next fur kid from.
My longtime friend said give Craigslist a try.
And thankfully the Universe guided us to Jessica, who I connected with immediately due to the like-attitudes of trying to do the best for our fur kids
