tessa dog

tessa the wonder dog passed away peacefully this week with me scratching her favorite place under her chin. i could not have asked for a more loyal, loving, protective companion. she has scared away everything from bears to packrats from our campsites over the years. she was the queen. moving to our land 4 years ago was a dream retirement for the old girl. she took great pride in scaring the deer away from the house.
you will be missed old girl. you ARE a forever dog. cannon beach oregon

nothing like the bond between a boy and his dog.

13 years old

always a gentle playmate

tessa at our mountain top wedding, she was the ring-bearer.
