Just wanted our many readers to know that we lost our darling boy JettBo on June 28th.  He was 13 and a half years old which is very old for a Husky.

To all of you who have been there for us, thank you so very much for helping us get through this extremely difficult time as best we can.  We also wanted you all to know about this lovely website where our beloved friends will be seen and loved forever. JettBo was honored by a dear friend of ours.

We were so moved by her gesture as it really does help ease our pain every time we visit his memorial. We hope this will in some way benefit all the wonderful animals that enrich our lives and help comfort everyone who loses a dear furry family member.  Here is the link to The Golden Bone Memorial Wall:

Pictures tell it all.  We invite you to enjoy this lovely slide show of weddings produced by Show Stoppers.  This body of work was photographed by renowned photographers Sedona Bride Photography. Begin the slide show HERE:
