Many of you know Aspen.
If you’ve ever come to Companion Creek Farm, there’s a good chance you’ve been greeted by her at some point. For years, Aspen and Cain were the official welcoming committee. They met puppy families, farm visitors, customers, delivery drivers, and pretty much anyone who pulled into the driveway.
When I bought this property, Aspen and Cain were right there at the beginning. They were some of the first dogs to call this place home, and they have been a part of the farm dream from the very start.
When Cain passed away from bone cancer at only 7 years old, Aspen stepped into the role of greeting committee all on her own. She has faithfully walked visitors around the farm, supervised countless puppy pickups, and welcomed more people to Companion Creek than I could ever count.
Recently, Aspen was diagnosed with advanced kidney disease. While she is still enjoying her days, I know our time together is becoming more precious.
I wanted to share this because many of you know her and love her, and there may come a day when you visit the farm and don’t see Aspen waiting to greet you at the gate.
She is more than just a dog. She represents the beginning of a dream, the early days of Companion Creek Farm, and a chapter of my life that I will always cherish.
For now, I’m going to spoil her, love her, and make whatever time she has left the very best I can. ❤️🐾
