mattie's last frisbee

mattie's last frisbeeFriday my most loyal companion Mattie Wade had a little cyst smaller than a golf ball on her neck.  This morning it was more the size of a softball.  I hate losing a companion, but I'm so glad to be able to make the decision to allow her to be free from pain.  Seems like we deserve the same respect and options. 

This pic was taken this morning during her last walk in our neighborhood. 

It's embarrising just how attached we get to a goofy little dog.

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
