~A special note for all of the dogs we’ve loved and lost over the years.  Milo, Oscar, Bailey, Hudson, Joe, Billy and Gus – each of you were so special and you will never be forgotten.  Without each of you, I would not be the trainer or the person that I am today.  Rest in Paradise my sweet fuzzy faces. Until we meet again.
