Today we mourn the loss of HRCH Trooper’s Carolina Sunrise.
“Yella” was one of the first dogs I put a finished title on. At this point in my career a lot of the “firsts” are now crossing the rainbow bridge. Just shy of her 10th birthday, Yella (Mackie littermate) made that journey surrounded by her family.
Kristin and I extended our condolences to the Alexander family!
