Today Is one year since Campy, my beloved "soul dog," passed away peacefully at home at 12:20pm, at the age of 17. After 16 years together, the hole in my heart has not fully healed. My heart continues to ache on a daily basis. Campy was more than just a pet; he was my "love and sunshine" and my best friend. He brought me much joy, laughter, happiness, companionship, and unconditional love. Campy and I were inseparable. I adored his big personality, happy smile, golden hair (which eventually turned white) perfect nose, heart-melting face, and long legs. He went everywhere with me. He was a constant source of comfort and companionship, always making me feel wanted and needed. Even as he aged, Campy remained a fighter, and we embraced every day we had with him. He was always loved and well taken care of.  Life will never be the same without our sunshine. Campy taught us so much about life, and his presence is terribly missed. We are forever grateful for the memories h...

It's been 94 days since I said good bye to Campy. As my soul dog and constant companion for over 16 years, I continue to struggle with grief, loss and sadness. And on October 10th, we said good bye to our cat Madison, who had been the mediator of our house for the past 15 years.  Since Campy's passing, I've had three incredible races. I placed 9th at Norseman XTRI and was the first American female. I was the first female at IM 70.3 Louisville and I was the first amateur female at IM Chattanooga.  It's crazy to think that I could perform so well despite feeling so empty inside. The truth is that I was avoiding the process of grieving. I was so busy and focused that I didn't have time to fully feel or think about my loss. The warm weather, the races, the travel, the triathlon community  - these amazing distractions allowed me to avoid all of the unpleasant emotions and feelings associated with loss.  Picture source I came across this picture on Facebook and I instantl...

9/19/2009 - 10/10/2024 Madison passed away peacefully with the help of Dr. Haueisen at the Pointsett Animal Hospital on October 10th, 2024 around 2:20pm. Madison will now join her best friend Campy, who passed away 87 days ago - exactly 12 weeks to the day.  Madison battled Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) for the past 2.5 years. In Feb 2022, Madison received a double lung tap  as a last resort to saving her life after a 5-day battle with her failing heart and lungs. Although she surived the procedure, the vet didn't think she would make it more than 6 months.  With the help of medications, frequent vet visits and a lot of love, Madison proved everyone wrong and lived another 2 years and 8 months. She always had a strong will to live as her number one priority in life was to show us love and compassion.  The story of Madison. In the summer of 2009, Madison was found by Campy in the bushes of our apartment complex in Jacksonville Florida. After several months ...
