Breaking Heart News 

Cole the namesake of this site.

Has just crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

Cole was beyond being a dog, but a true loyal friend.

I will relay the story of Cole at another time.

Right now, I will be mourning his loss.

Give your pups a big hug and kiss, for time marches on and the end does come.
