I can’t express the love and gratitude I have towards Dakota and her incredible photography skills and capturing these forever lasting memories with Pryzm. 🥹

Since bringing Pryzm home over a month ago my life has changed for the better. I never knew how much I really needed this dog. She’s shifted so many gears and is creating such a beautiful path for the road ahead. 💖

The girls and I had a photo shoot with the one & only @gus.and.mia on Tuesday!

Even though the wind was not in our favor (and definitely not my hairs) these photos turned out so so great and I truly had my jaw drop several times while looking through them! 🤤
I can’t thank you enough for capturing such great shots of us!!
(more to come so be prepared 😅)

I really like how this photo captures Aleu’s pure joy and Aniyu’s intensity and having her border collie show 😅

My everything
My reason
My heart dog.

I’m not okay.. and it’s okay to not be okay..
In the evening hours of October 6th Karma was rushed to the emergency vet. She was diagnosed with a tumor sitting on top of her spleen. Causing her significant discomfort and fluid leaking into her abdomen. Karma showed absolutely no signs of being ill. The only sign I got was her not eating.

- Karma would not have been a good candidate for surgery. She would have struggled with the recovery process, blood transfusion and needing chemotherapy down the road. It was too risky to put her through the surgery.

Today a very difficult decision was made.. I had to do what was in Karmas best interest. Karma spent the last 10.5 years of her life with me.. and I’m so beyond grateful to be her mother. She was my heart dog. More than my heart dog. My everything. That dog has been through so much with me. I could never repay her for all the love and support she’s given me these past 10.5 years.

Karma. I hope you know how much I love you. How much this hurts.. fly high for me my sweet child. I love you so much. ❤️ that’ll do sweet girl.

It’s been 5 years since your departure Karma.. 💜

And 1 year since your departure, Alaric…🧡

This day still remains the hardest day each year that has passed. I miss the touch of your soft warm coat. The way you would look up at me and each moment we spent together.
You are my rock and to this day everything I do is in celebration and memory of you. 💜

Alaric, you were my golden boy. The dog I could rely on for everything.
When I started my business you became a huge asset and help us rehabilitate many dogs. Your passing was sudden and I’ll never understand why it happened but you are forever loved and cherished.. I can’t believe it’s already been one whole year. The girls and I miss you like crazy. 🧡

I love you beyond words could ever describe Karma and Alaric. I hope you both are proud of us and I know my family and I have the best guardian angels we can ask for.

Keep soaring my sweet angels. 🕊️🪽🧡💜🪽🕊️ taken in Colorado by @wanderingmerles

Our wedding 8.22.26 ♥️💍

As some of you know, Jordan and I eloped 8.6.26 but over the weekend we got to celebrate with close friends and family.
It was everything we dreamed of and MORE.

I’ve never felt so much love and support in one room. It was the most incredible experience.

HUGE shoutout to my amazing photographer Dakota.. (@spotandbrindleimages / @gus.and.mia) She went above and beyond to capture these memories and I’m forever in her debt. This is her first wedding she has shot and she made it look so easy!!

Thank you for every single person that came for us and honored our love!!

Here’s to our new adventure as Mr. & Mrs. Andrus!! ♥️💍🤍 taken in Colorado by @wanderingmerles
