- For anyone who needs it today, I’ll share my Mr. B!

- Mom always says: When we leave this Earth, what will we be remembered for? Our hope: We made a difference. We helped someone in need at the time they needed. We left the places we were better than we found them. We lived a fulfilled life. We experienced love. We were happy. We were at peace.
- Wishing my Dad a very happy Fathers Day! Thank you for choosing to be my Dad and taking such loving care of all our pack! Plus the xtra cheese and peanut butter treatos when Mom’s not looking! Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
- Waiting patiently to board a flight Mom hears a couple behind her. “Oh! There’s a dog! I didn’t even know it was there!” When Pax and Mom travel she hears that ALL the time! Pax moves quietly through life beside Mom doing his job, many times completely unnoticed by people.

- When I was younger I was with Mom through all her medical appointments and she held my paw when she got shots. Now, since I’m older I get shots every month and check ups, she comforts me when I get shots - of course so does peanut butter!
- Good morning. Sorry to be a distraction. But today I am feeling fabulous and thought I would share!
- This #MemorialDay, we pause to remember that today is meant to honor the brave men and women who selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice for all our freedom. Let’s commit to be worthy of the heroic actions too many have made for those freedoms we take for granted.
