• Perseverence Pays Off…

  The last couple of weeks have been a blur. Lynn and I travelled home from Calgary on May 1 and I was back in the office on May 2. To say that heading into the office after a week off felt like walking into a meat grinder is almost an understatement. I had quite a…

  The last couple of weeks have been … intense. Just about two weeks ago, we said goodbye to our precious Willow. We ultimately ended up having the vet come out on the Monday as we detected another problem with her and we just didn’t want her suffering any more. I’m not going to lie; I…
