On September 16, 2026, my Bill passed away.

After nearly 48 years together, it’s hard to imagine a world without him in it. We shared a whole lifetime—our sons, our daughter in laws, family, adventures, laughter, ordinary days, hard days, and a thousand little things that were simply us.

He was Desert Dog, my “Wild Bill”, my husband, my partner and soulmate, and he loved his family and pups deeply.
We will always be Magnet & Steel. We will love him forever.

He was diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis and his journey quickly became very difficult in the past several weeks. I’m grateful he is finally at peace.

On Saturday October 24, we will host a Celebration of Life from 12 noon to 4pm.
You are welcome to stop in. We will toast on the hour. And yes, I will resume boarding pups soon.

Sometimes the best medicine has four paws, a warm heart, and simply stays beside us.

Between pup watching, helping Bill get back on his feet, and trying to reclaim a few corners of this old house, my social media department has been seriously understaffed.

Fortunately, I found ALF ! And he has agreed to fill in. His qualifications are questionable, but he works for snacks. It’s probably a good thing we don’t board cats. 😳😂

We’re still here, the pups are still running the place, and life is just moving at a little different pace these days.

Here are a few of the furry faces that are keeping us smiling. ❤️

It’s crazy hot, too hot for dawg paws! But while we nap we can dream of hayrides & cooler days. 😂
And of course I’ll pay the dog tax~ a photo shopped photo op to mark the occasion!

Stars, Stripes & Wagging tails!
Happy 4th of July!

This bunch certainly waltzed through June on all four paws! 🐾
After a month filled with wedding joy, birthday wishes, and Father’s Day celebrations, our Bed & Barkfest family is changing the rhythm a bit. As summer unfolds, we’re supporting a slower dance and taking each step with care.

Ahhh sigh. It’s like leaning against the wall during a junior high dance… someone … ANYONE (!) PLEASE just dance with me!
(Marty was full of energy waking up to a 55 degree morning!)
