My dogs were a life-saver to me as well, when my husband died. Baron (Lab/Weimaraner) was 14 and Jackson (Pug/Jack Russell) 12 when Dave died in Feb 2021. They were such good company! I was not able to return to work, so they became my constant companions. We had to say goodbye to Baron in December 2021, but Jackson and I are still trucking on and I would say, inseparable except for very short errands like the grocery store. He now accompanies me on overnight trips to visit my sister’s family and my dad in LTC, 2.5 hours away, and is going to a birthday party with ‘The Girls’ this weekend. Soon, we will begin to explore my sister’s cottage, which means big changes for me as I will need to give up my beloved loft spot since the stairs are not dog-safe. Whatever!!! For the years we have left, we travel as a pair.
I love this Kristi and could not have said any of it better. I will admit though, that I thought she would be traumatized for life the day that devastating call came. But she has weathered the storm and is on her way to being the best support dog ever, without any formal training.💜🐕💜
My eyes started burning with tears. If/ when I get to Calgary, I'd love to meet this angel with four legs. 💓. Sometimes I check out her page to cheer me up too.

Sometimes I think the best reason to save the human race is so dogs can keep us around. That pic of you and Puppy Dezi — my heart is pudding.
