My little angel Sadie passed away from cancer May 28, 2021.  Sadie crossed the bridge today and finally will be free of pain.  Sadie can now run and play and eat all of her favorite treats.  Sadie can nap and snore all she wants.  I still do not know who trained who.  I owe my life to her.  I will miss her.

Chance was born in Texas five years ago. He spent the first 3.5 years of his life knowing only the cruelty that humans are capable of. He was then rescued and moved to Minnesota.

Jake was born on February 11, 2008 and died on February 25, 2021. He was adopted at the age of 5 from English Springer Rescue America (ESRA). Jake did not look like your typical springer spaniel, he was 60 pounds and big boned.

He enjoyed hanging...
