The hardest goodbye…Darby went down for her long sleep a few weeks back - exactly one month before her birthday. Today she would have been 10. She had been struggling this past year, especially in her final few weeks. She first started showing symptoms last summer - knuckling and dragging her hind, right paw. Many vet visits later, we would find out she had Degenerative Myelopathy. Her condition slowly worsened and we did our best to keep her going. By the end, she couldn’t stand on her own. An indefinable depth of love for this creature made parting with her feel unfathomable, but there came a point where it simply wasn’t fair to her anymore. The crushing sense of loss has been tough to process, the house feels eerily quiet and still. It’s agonizing to think I will never again feel her warm body against my leg in bed, hear her snore, or kiss her sweet little face, but our souls will forever be intertwined and I am extremely grateful for the time we did have with her. All of a sudden, all those photos and videos, forever dominating the storage on my phone, feel like an untapped gold mine. If you have a pet, give them an extra squeeze for me today. Happy Birthday Darby Doo. ❤️ by @oldbirchworkshop

Oh hi there! Long time, no…post. @halifaxcrafters annual Spring Market is officially one week away and I figured I should let you know I’ll be there, selling some leather things. I will have a whole whack of wallets for sale, along with some other handmade goodies (including a couple new items as well). Mark it on your calendars and come on down next Sat or Sun to shop some locally-made/Canadian-made goods…or just come say hi! Feel free to share this post 💘
