The backyard slide
Misty loved climbing onto the backyard playset—and sliding down the slide for a little extra speed.
In loving memory · 2020
Meet Misty.
The girl with the soft ears, the big heart, and more nicknames than any dog could possibly need.
It began with a promise.
In second grade, I begged my parents for a dog. My dad challenged me to prove I was ready by picking up after Sadie, our sweet old beagle. I took the challenge seriously. Misty eventually arrived, and for 16 wonderful years she was part of nearly every chapter of my life.
She was the kind of dog who wanted to be wherever her people were. If someone was alone at home, she'd find them and settle in nearby. She could turn an ordinary day into a memory just by following you from room to room.
Misty passed away in 2020. Her love is the reason this little business has her name.
Little names, big love
She answered to all kinds of names.

Life with Misty
Some stories are too good to forget.
Water dog
She chased the hose in great figure eights, splashed in lakes, and retrieved sticks from the water.
Never far away
She had a gift for finding whoever was home alone, lying nearby, and nudging a hand when the petting stopped.
Christmas company
She loved sleeping under the Christmas tree—and making herself part of the excitement when everyone opened gifts.
One missing shoe
For years she borrowed a single shoe, usually one Mom had worn recently. Finding the matching pair could be a challenge.
Misty's pace
Later in life, she chose the pace and direction of her walks. We followed her lead and took our time.
A very talented girl
Yes, she knew tricks.
Some were classics, others were pure Misty.

She even climbed playground ladders and went down slides. And when we said “night-night,” she knew it was time to go to her kennel.
