Going on a solo overlanding adventure in the Sonoran Desert is the trip that made me the most nervous of all my trips. I start in Southern California and head east into Arizona to begin this 6 day solo adventure.

With the surgery we didn’t have her long enough, and without the surgery, we wouldn’t have had her very long. She was 7 months old and we had her for 4 months. She spent two weeks out west and camped for 12 days. Overcame her fear of elevators and played with other pets that have traveled the world. She was pricked by a cactus and loved French fries (given sparingly of course)…but we would’ve done so so much more. Thank you for loving her with us.

No matter how long or for how short of a time we have them, they leave their little pawprints all over our hearts. She was so very lucky to have had you both. Thank you so much for sharing her with us ♥

Damn! So sorry for your loss! It's never easy losing one of your pack. Dogs are the most amazing loving part of life for the short time they are here. They give all the love they can every single second of the time they have here and always leave a lasting paw print on your soul. You gave her the best life she could have wished for full of love and a sense of freedom that many dogs don't get to experience. She will be missed on the channel for sure. Sending love and thoughts to you two.🥲

Although sometimes hard to understand and accept, she was sent in your life for a reason. She surely brought something special in your life and will continue to do so. She is now free of her illness and will be able to roam in heaven and follow you on your other adventures. God bless.
