2025 UPDATE

The last few years has hit my family hard.  My beloved dog passed away from a stroke.  My husband was diagnosed with liver disease.  My mental health has been in distress. My dad had a massive stroke last year.  And now 2025 started with crazy wild fires and evacuations.  My other dogs are getting too old to be left behind at home while we travel.  So we have to re-strategize and take turns solo-traveling somehow.  I hope everyone else is enjoying the new year so far!

Stay Safe & Healthy everyone!
