Life Plus Dogs

2025 was… rough. We had the highest highs and the lowest lows.

We got to visit Paris, Boston, and NYC. We saw the Eiffel Tower, Fenway Park, and Yaankee Stadium. We had so many good times, and so much fun. We visited some of our favorite people, we made so many memories.

We also suffered through some of the heaviest losses. We had to say goodbye before anyone was ready, and we’re ending the year wihout Bitty. That part still doesn’t even seem real. I still don’t know how it’s possible that she isn’t here.

My stress levels have been off the charts, which means my health has been in the gutters… it’s funny (not) how those go hand in hand.

But you know… we still our jobs. I still get to WFH. Fe, Harpy, Bo, Maya, and Bentley are doing well. We have a home, we have a lot more than some people…

So even though this year was filled with more tears than smiles, we’ve got so much to be grateful for.

Here’s hoping 2026 can be a little kinder to us all.

These two are the best of friends, but SO different.

Fenix enjoys the beach by swimming like a fishy, rolling in the sand, and making new friends. She is happier the filthier she gets.

Harper likes to go wading, sniff all the cool smells, and guard our stuff. 🚫 new friends needed.
