We miss her


I have been meaning to post about our loss for awhile now. Aspen, our dog of 14 years, died on January 30th. We had to put her to sleep as she was suffering from a liver tumor. Jeff picked out Aspen when she was just 8 weeks old. She was Jeff's before Jeff and I ever knew one another. She was a naughty puppy who chewed on EVERYTHING and got into everything that she didn't chew. She could be grumpy and sweet. When we first got Columbia Aspen growled at him constantly. Eventually they became the best of friends. When we had Cayden Aspen was quiet and well-behaved. At the end we were sad to see her suffer and knew it was time. It was extremely difficult to say goodbye. Here are a few pictures of her in her "prime" out on a hike with Jeff and Cayden.
