Pacific Hound

I’ve been sitting on these two prints for months and it’s finally time to reveal them to you!

We are situated in the Willamette Valley and I just knew I needed to capture the beauty in something that could serve as a constant reminder.

So, here they are. We’ve now shared 3/6 available prints this Friday.

I’ve known I wanted a Dalmatian since I was five years old.

From the moment we met, you were mine and I was yours.

We chose you because you were brave. You were the first to explore and were always making us laugh.

I’m not sure brave was something I’d call you as an adult dog, but you did love to explore.

You never said no to an adventure and you were my absolute favorite running buddy.

I’ll miss your ridiculously soft ears and the way your hair swirled on the back of your neck.

I’ll miss the way you waited for me, all curled up on my side of the bed, while I put the kids down.

You were my safe place. The thing I sought out when I needed a minute to breathe.

It was always you.

Today, you weren’t there for me to say good morning to.

Your food bowl will remain empty and your favorite toy football still lying on the floor.

I don’t know how I am going to navigate this world without you and quite honestly, I’d always hoped I’d never have to.

I’m still trying to figure out why heart dogs can’t stay for a lifetime but perhaps that’s a lesson you have yet to teach me.

Spotty dog, thank you for the most incredible 13 years of my life. You made every day better and not a minute goes by that I don’t feel your presence in everything I do.

I love you forever. ❤️
