Happy Endings aren’t just in Fairytales!
I took Etta for a walk the other day and got her to pose for this picture. I told her to jump up on top of the hay bale and she actually did it! She looked so happy and at ease and it reminded me of how different she was the first day Brooke and Gregg introduced her to me. Though she was affectionate, she was nervous and a little tentative.

Dogs have been an essential part of the Hammertown Lifestyle from the very beginning when Ashley, our first Golden Retriever, graced Hammertown with her majestic presence. She set the standard, breaking the couch barrier for all that would follow.
