8 years ago, after my engagement fell apart, I moved back to Denver and had full intention of adopting an elderly dog. Instead, I found Willow. I adopted her the day after her first birthday and we have been together ever since. She is my wild and crazy snow dog who has an unrivaled attitude. She has been by my side through the deaths of both of my parents and the births of my two daughters. She is my best friend and soul dog.
