Emily and I had been talking about adding to our family even before Buddy passed away. We had always wanted to give Nora the chance to be a big sister, and today we welcomed a new addition to our pack... Everyone, meet Dude... Dude, meet everyone.... #CatsOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CR5KVOFo4vB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Every now and again, I manage to impress myself. Baby back ribs on a charcoal grill, low and slow for five hours. Happy 4th of July everyone! #IndependenceDay #4thOfJuly #FoodPorn https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ7D_aqhHKf/?utm_medium=tumblr

After Buddy passed away, Emily and I had him cremated and his ashes returned to us along with a memorial paw print in clay. We ordered a custom memorial box for his ashes and today we placed his ashes in the box along with some of his favorite toys. Emily also ordered a memory necklace in which we sealed some of his ashes so she will always be able to carry a piece of Buddy with her. It felt good to do, but was definitely emotional. #Buddy #MissYou #ForeverTheBestestBoy https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDKp1fBHJy/?igshid=1gkc7pdnac3cn

You were our favorite hello... And our hardest goodbye. Your mom and I love you more than words can ever express and we miss you so very much. 💔💔💔💔💔 #Buddy #DogsOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZSabpBHfd/?igshid=9i2fnt32xnyf
