Meet Luke & Leia

ByThe Dude
“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”
~Josh Billings~

They came to us in a box nobody else wanted.

Best decision we never had to think twice about.

Dogs don’t know distraction. No scrolling, no half-attention — just you, completely, every single time.

Luke went first. Leia held the fort down with Mama for a little longer.  Now they are together again.
But the river doesn’t let go of the ones who loved that hard. They didn’t leave. They just moved upstream, watching over every soul who wanders down here looking for peace.

Welcome to The River you two little Dinkerdoodles!

Thought for the Day
Love like a dog does. All in, no distractions.
