Trailside Aussies

One of our biggest supporters and friends, Tiina and Finn have written a book that touched my heart deeply in ways I can’t describe! If you’ve ever experienced the love of a “soul dog” this is a must read! Yes, you will cry, but it is so worth it!

Thank you Tiina for sharing your story! I love all my dogs, but I miss my Maddie so much! I know we will meet again someday and I actually wonder sometimes if she isn’t already here with me in Ember. There is something in the way she looks at me and acts that brings back so much of Maddie.

I highly suggest you grab your copy at the link below. Trust me when I say, once you pick it up you won’t put it down!!

To see more about the inspiration behind the book, Tiina and Finn, give them a follow Finn WonderAussie both on Instagram and Facebook.

Special thanks to Rita’s in Hamburg, Pa for providing a nice cool treat at the end of the 5K this past Saturday. Ember sampled each flavor and approved!😋

Ember will be participating in some Fast CAT trials tomorrow and Wednesday so Meeko wanted to get her out for some practice sprints. He pretended to be the “trash bunny” for her to chase.

Also, this is your reminder to get your SafetyPUP XD orange vests now that hunting season is upon us. You want and need to be visible and safe out on those trail adventures!!😉

This picture says it all!!! ❤️

I remember my first phone conversation with Kirstin and her excitement and apprehension about owning her first dog. She had dreamed about this for many years, but was full of questions. She did her research and knew she wanted an Australian Shepherd. I loved every conversation I had with her, her maturity, compassion, her long list of questions and concerns and we spoke in depth leading up to the puppies arrival.

This picture shows the love, and happiness that Wren (former Maple, from The Little Saplings) has brought into her world. This pup is SO spoiled and goes everywhere with her and Cody! We are honored to have been part of making this dream come true for her! Thank you for loving Wren!☺️

We also want to congratulate them on the purchase of their new home! We are so excited and happy for you both!

When you need 4 different “magic words” to get up your steps and you forget them. 😩

The result is getting laughed at by the first one blocking your way.🤭
