It’s hard to believe, but four years ago this week I said goodbye to my best friend…
One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.
Brutus wasn’t just a dog — he was family.
My anchor through some of the most challenging years of my life.
The constant in the storm. The center of the joy during all the good times...he truly was the exclamation point on all of the fun things in life!
Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you.
Big Boy… I know you (and Chase) are up there somewhere, watching over me and Roo, tagging along on every adventure. I can feel you with me — especially now — as I look to finish what we started with Mighty Mike’s, the dream that began when you were still here by my side and part of the inspiration.
I look back at all the photos and can vividly remember every one of our adventures. I’d always say “let’s go do a product photoshoot” — but really it was just an excuse to disappear into the mountains with you midweek and have some adventures.
We covered a lot of ground in our 15 years together — from the misty woods of Mt. Hood, Oregon… to the sunny beaches of Southern California… and finally the wild, rugged beauty of the Colorado Rockies, where my love for the mountains truly came alive.
It was hard watching you slow down toward the end.
But damn, you lived the ultimate life a dog could ever have.
And you’ll always be a legend to me.
This one is for you, buddy.
Love you forever, Bru Bru. 🖤🐾
