North Roe Shetland Sheepdogs

Super fun night at Excel (aka dog school!)! Baby pups got loads of attention, we got to see Una ❤️ and Deano ❤️, and some of the older pups got to do some training! One bad thing about living where we do is that we are so far away from our original dog community! Miss these guys so so much!

Love this. ❤️

“What’s the hardest part about having a dog?” they asked, their tone casual, like it was just another question.

I glanced at the worn leash hanging by the door, my chest tightening. “Letting them go,” I said quietly.

They frowned a little, waiting for me to explain. “They come into your life like they were always meant to be there,” I said, trying to find the words. “They make everything better—simpler, brighter. And you think it’s always going to be that way. But it’s not. One day, they’re gone, and you’re left with all the space they used to fill.”

They nodded, but I wasn’t sure they understood. “It’s not the messes they made or the routines you have to let go of,” I continued. “It’s the absence. You walk into the house, and it feels... wrong. The quiet is heavier. The mornings don’t feel the same without them nudging you awake.”

“So why do it?” they asked, their voice softer this time.

I sighed, glancing down at my hands. “Because the love they give you is worth every bit of the heartache. They teach you how to love without holding back, even when you know it’s going to hurt in the end. And you keep choosing that love because you know it’s one of the best things you’ll ever feel.”

Moved to a different/bigger pen while we are in Spain so it’s easier for Rachel to watch the crew!

(Yup, Harvest needs her ears redone😆)
