We lost our beloved dog, El, to cancer yesterday. My family and I would like to thank all of you who visited Carr’s Hill for events or open houses and showered El with affection, which she absolutely loved. As is true with all dogs, El’s life was too short. (1/2)

Speaking of which, thanks also to all who reached out by email, text, or phone. It was a little overwhelming, to be honest, but deeply appreciated. I promise I will get back to each of you, but it might take just a bit. Thanks again. You have buoyed both my spirits and my faith.
