We lost our best girl recently.  Lace went to sleep in our arms and has moved on to a better world filled with all the ducks, ptarmigan, fish, squirrels, cats and tennis balls she cares to chase….and all the special treats she cares to eat.

We believe she’s in a better place where other dogs, friends and family are looking after her…. but this continues to be a painful adjustment for Audrey and I.  For 13 1/2 years, Lace was a major part of our everyday lives.  She was an extra special, faithful companion.  We’re forever grateful she chose us that summer day in Alaska.  We were shooting an episode of North to Alaska.  Our schedules were hectic and the last thing we were looking for was a puppy.  But she knew we needed her.

Lace was, of course, always up for an adventure!  She traveled throughout Alaska and much of the Lower 48.  By truck, camper, boat, plane, kayak or raft – she was always ready to go!  She had many friends and extended family who loved her and she them.

We will try hard not to forget all she taught us.  We miss her.  It’s tough to lose that kind of love.
