After months of failing health, the decision was made to put our beloved friend Bridger to sleep this August. He was born in Wheatland, Wyoming and was given to Audrey by Ryan as her college graduation gift. It didn't take long before Bridger leapt his way into our hearts and was truly our first kid, just a little more furry than the rest! Over the course of eleven years he enriched our lives with his unconditional love, gentleness, sensitivity, and loyalty. From our engagement, wedding, first home, birth of both children, medical school, and even a part of residency, Bridger was faithfully there for it all. We consider ourselves deeply blessed to have shared a part of our lives with such a wonderful companion. Although it is so hard to say goodbye, we our reminded that the paw prints he left on 0ur hearts will last forever. We miss you Big Dog.
