I tried to. It won't work on my phone. Not sure what is going on with it! I will try from my laptop when I can!

We sold our house and moved into an RV full time. Waiting for my husband to finish a project at work and then we'll be traveling around the US with the girls. We purchased the RV shortly before Riley passed- we have intended for all 6 of us to go. Now, we are taking Riley in spirit. Her little clay paw print hangs in the bedroom in the RV.

Hello everyone. It's been 8.5 months since we lost our girl. I said her name the other day and my other three looked towards the door like they expected her to walk through.

We plan on going to dog chapel on the date of her passing (unless we're out west) to spread her wildflowers (with permission).

We have started a new blog if anyone wants to follow along on our RV adventure. It can be found at http://www.kels4g.com

Riley guarding a toyImage Enlarger

This is Riley guarding a toy from her sisters. Which is funny because she didn't play with toys- she just didn't want them to have it. This is before her amputation as you can see her paw is misshapen and swollen.

Sooooooo good to hear from you and, of course, to see sweet Riley's picture! I love that her toys were no to be messed with! So cute!

Ya' know, when you said Riley's name the other day and the dogs looked to the door....well....I'm pretty sure Riley was definitely letting you know she's with you! The dogs felt the presence of her energy!

Spreading the wildflowers, such a beautiful life affirming way to honor adorable Riley. Wildflowers are so beautiful, and so tough! Just like Riley! 🙂

I'm gonna go check out the link now. It's wonderful that you are able to travel with your pack. Make no mistake about it, Riley is right there with you guarding you...and guarding her toys!

Much, much love

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

The wildflowers were given to us with a nice poem by the crematorium that made Riley's paw print. We did not plant them at our house because it was up for sale and we knew we'd be moving soon.

Riley's ashes were spread in their public dog garden so all we have left of Riley are memories, pictures, videos, and her paw print. We miss her dearly and wish she could still be with us. Here's a link to lots of pictures of Riley (well everyone that's fuzzy) before her accident. You don't have to have facebook to see the pictures.

KELLY! It's so great to hear from you! I can't believe it's been that long. How wonderful that you and Stephen and the girls are on the road. From one wandering vagabond to another, congrats! I can't wait for the day we meet up. Living life to the fullest as only your pack knows how is the ultimate tribute to your sweet Riley. She's along you every mile of the way. xoxoxo

We are hoping to be heading out west sometime in the summer. Super excited!

I know. It's weird because it feels like it was yesterday and a hundred years ago at the same time that we lost Riley.
