My Life in a Min Pin World
June 17, 2026
As the girls grew older, we began celebrating their half birthdays every June 17th. Dog lives are too short to only celebrate once a year. Looking back, I wish we had celebrated on the 17th of EVERY month. I’m sure the girls would have gone along with it!

Aspen loved searching at BRSF. I set the hides, we took a walk, and then Aspen played her favorite game.

Two years ago today, my world shattered. Saying goodbye to Malibu was one of the worst days of my life. 💔

I’m usually not a fan of red and pink together, but here – it’s a perfect combination. : )

Eighteen years ago this week, I embarked on the wildest, craziest, and most amazing experience of my life. Deciding to raise not one, not two, but THREE pups was an incredible leap of faith. Those pups grew into dogs who became my entire world. There were times of joy, grief, and everything in between. Sixteen years went by in the blink of an eye.

2025 was the first full year without the pitter-patter of tiny Min Pin paws in our home. It’s been just over a year and a half since Malibu crossed the Rainbow Bridge, so this was my second too-quiet December. It used to be a month full of festivity. I had created holiday traditions that were celebrated each year with my girls. Plus, their birthday falls in December. The entire month seemed like one big party. It’s different now – as it always is when your world is forever changed. But despite my sadness, there is also gratitude. Having Aspen, Quest, and Malibu enter my life was the greatest gift I’ve ever received.

I loved doing photo shoots with my Min Pins. As long as cookies were involved, they didn’t seem to mind dressing up and posing for the camera. I never deleted the bloopers, photos that weren’t quite frame-worthy. You know the ones I’m talking about – closed eyes, awkward body positions, wardrobe malfunctions, etc. I saved my Min Pin blooper reels because they are just as memorable as my favorite image of the shoot.

Seven years ago today, Team Malibu earned their TDAA (Teacup Agile Dog Championship). We had worked so hard for this title – I couldn’t have been prouder of my little agility partner.

Today marks a year since Malibu went to the Rainbow Bridge. I miss her every single day. She was with me the longest, and sometimes I thought she’d be with me forever. I couldn’t imagine Malibu not being here. I’m slowly adjusting to life without my spunky, clever girl (and the rest of my Min Pin crew), but I’ll be honest – it sucks.
