Carson 2 months old
Thirteen years ago an adorable Labby mix puppy came into my life. I was living in the town of Carson, Washington at the time, and so he became Carson. As a traveler I’ve named other pets after places before.

Carson became a young, one year old, father with the local hussie sweetie who was the same age. Actually Motsy was a fine beauty of collie and Australian sheepdog so he could have done worse.

Maybe because Carson was born in the Pacific Northwest he didn’t adjust well to desert life.

Yet he’d still hike with me up rocky mountains.

We aged together. Carson would have been 13 today. Think I’ll go throw a tennis ball for him to chase. Happy Birthday Carson!
