Berko… ‘nough said
The chaos that has brought peace So we decided that I needed to experience raising a puppy for the very first time in my life. Now, after a lot of conversations about needing to get Ollie a dog after losing Maverick, we decided to start looking at dogs. Tami found a breeder (yes I know… Continue reading

A Year in Review…
I kind of lost track of the last year… Sorry. So much has happened and yet at the same time nothing at all. We made a couple of trips to places I haven’t been, spent a lot of time witht the dogs, and generally just got through the year. Since it has been a while Continue reading

A Study in Ollie
The small dog that played a HUGE role in all of this So at the beginning of this whole new chapter in my life Tami and I decided that we wanted another dog. I, having been around nothing but rescues (bully breeds) and mutts to this point, had the great idea of getting a dog Continue reading

The (belated) Last Week of Ireland
And by belated I mean REALLY belated… sorry. So I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago when we got back to the states, but work and life got in the way. It also seemed like a huge undertaking emotionally to go through everything. But here we are. So when I last left Continue reading

A Week (so far) in Ireland
(Sorry this took so long. Never knew how tiring a foreign country could be) I had no idea how much walking (no really, like 9 hours in Dublin alone) we were going to do. And after only a few days I developed a minor sinus infection (definitely not my idea of a great time). But Continue reading

And Away We Go
All Packed and ready Now that I have been married to the love of my life for almost a year, I think it’s time we take flight and head off to the “Honey Moon®” to see the green fields of Ireland. Obviously we are super excited for all of this (so is Tater), and can’t Continue reading
It all Started in Hobart
