From the second I saw Piper, our new Goldendoodle puppy from Lonestar Doodles, I knew she was the one. She was placed in my arms and she rested her head gently on my chest. It was love at first sight. Unfortunately, Athena couldn’t join us during the choosing process. I wanted her to have that special moment that I had…

Since Athena was born, we had one tradition that has followed us every Christmas regardless of where we lived. It’s attending The Nutcracker ballet. We even put it on our yearly Christmas Wish List.
