"It’s just a constant battle: me against my body; my passions and my dreams and what I want to do with my life, against what I’m physically able to do." -Austin Carlile
My life in dogs:
Current critters:
Twist joined the pack Nov 28, 2009


Hunting dog, crazy legs, and journeyman snuggler.
Sunny joined the pack June 23rd, 2012


Hunting prospect, great bloodlines, high bird drive, tug fiend.
Turner joined the pack December 2017 (I met him the 11th, we arrived home the 14th.)

A handsome, sweet, goofy puppy who I hope will grow up and work out as my next mobility dog.

Past loves:
Ocho was born in the pack Jan 23, 2001 and left it Nov 30, 2015

14 years, 10 months, and 7 days. A life well lived, and well loved.
Duncan joined the pack May 30, 2007 and left it March 30, 2016

Duncan was my service dog. He never wanted to retire, though I stopped working him outside of the house after a TPLO, he continued to alert and fetch all the things up until his sudden turn for the worse. (ER visit for illness on a Sunday, euthanized for lung cancer and chest bleeding the following Wednesday.) He was my balance, my safety, my heart, and I will love him forever.
Keeper joined the pack July 26th, 2013 and left far too soon, February 6, 2018

Failed beauty queen, Mobility and Medical Alert Service Dog. Default: Happy! She made me smile and gave me the independence to live my life. She died of a heart arrhythmia, here one minute and gone the next. She was a sweetheart, and the world's a little dimmer without her smile to light the way.
