Thanks for checking in, I am so sorry for your losses. Glad to hear from you !!

Wow, it's been a long time. I've checked back often over the past few years since Sophie died, and was so sorry to see the site fading. GRiC helped me so much over the time I was blessed to have my sweet Sophie girl. Even though I haven't participated in a while and pulled back quite a bit after losing Sophie, I am so happy to see the reconnection here between old friends, thanks to Susan Marie, Debbie and Rick...

I am now mom to an 8 year old St. Bernard named Bayley, who is our ranch dog extraordinaire. She came as a package deal when I married her dad! I moved to northwestern Montana, got married, and in addition to Bayley, who is love personified, I am mom to 17 horses and our resident chipmunks, ground squirrels, gophers and bears. Have had a lot of love and a lot of loss over the past few years but life goes on, doesn't it... I miss my Sophie every day and will someday have another golden in my life. And having been privileged to have fallen in love with a St. Bernard, I know I'll always have one of those, too! Bayley helped to heal my heart from the loss of Sophie and I'm so thankful for her.
