My days have been blurring together lately and in all honesty I haven't had much to write about. My weeks so far have consisted of leaving for work on Monday at 5pm and working till 5am and back in bed by 6 am every day through Wednesday. Thursday is laundry and date night. Friday during … Continue reading In The Weeks To Come

Getting back out there
It's been a few weeks since I lost Roland and I still feel a little off. It is a bit quiet when I come home and I am having a hard time readjusting to being alone. We would go everywhere together, the bar, out for a ride, and even to grab a burger. I have … Continue reading Getting back out there
Roland, Our last day.
The house is filled with people and yet it is empty. There is something missing, gone, lost to us. I am no longer whole. There is a huge wound in me that can not be healed now. I cry all the time, a song, a thought, a memory, a picture brings me to tears. I … Continue reading Roland, Our last day.
The Vet
Before moving into our new place I took Roland to the vet to ask some questions and get him checked out before we did the trail. We arrived without any problems and waited just a few minutes. Walking back to the exam room I really only had one question and it was about rattlesnakes. This … Continue reading The Vet
A few marbles short of a full deck.
I'm quickly learning how off my roommate is. We have been "having problems" mostly with Roland. At first it started as a kind of over parenting, telling me to go to bed, telling me we would talk after I slept. You see I work midnights and I took it at first as her looking out … Continue reading A few marbles short of a full deck.
Old Dog, New Tricks
We awoke early, our gear packed from the night before, grabbing my bag and setting out. Rushing downstairs to feed Roland, I quietly float down the steps as to not wake up anyone else. Its early, the sun is up though, there is a chill about the air, crisp and clean. Roland devours his food … Continue reading Old Dog, New Tricks
Almost Home
Its 5:00 on this Saturday morning and I am wide awake. I feel rested, refreshed, reawakened. The past few weeks have been busy to say the least. So much has changed in the past two months which is a part of why I haven't written. I started two jobs at the end of October, working … Continue reading Almost Home
Updates and Paperwork
It has been a week or so since I've posted and I wanted to catch everyone up on what has been going on. I really haven't gotten the time to go out and hike recently. From changing to midnights and weekends it has been a struggle to get back on the trail with my free … Continue reading Updates and Paperwork
American Cancer Society
Over the past few weeks, Kevin and myself have been in contact with the American Cancer Society. I am so proud to say that they are behind us all the way. They thought our idea of doing this for cancer was great, no one has ever done this before, let alone with a dog as … Continue reading American Cancer Society
Scouts and the AT Day 2
Morning came quickly for me, between the near freezing temperatures and how tired I was, I slept very well. I awoke rested, without injury, soreness, and ready for today's nine mile hike back to the camp and cars. I packed up my gear and tent as the other scouts rose from their slumber and stumbled … Continue reading Scouts and the AT Day 2
