Dear Friends, Family, & Salami Fans,

This year, I am dashing for Salami. After 14 years with our family, and (at least) 15 years on this earth, we said goodbye to Salami. He was there as our son
learned to walk. He was there for our daughter's birth. He came to us through Doggieville, saw us through 7 years with the business, and then for the eventual closing and our move to Portland. He was there through my 7 years at OHS, coming to work with me regularly to bark at strangers and love on friends. He saw me through leaving OHS for my current job with the wonderful folks (and my current team) at Washington County Animal Services and the Bonnie Hays Small Animal Shelter. He's been through so many pivotal moments in our life, that it's tough to imagine life without him. But I can just see him barking at other dogs in the hereafter, chasing balls, swimming in the eternal sea, and enjoying everything that brought him so much joy in this life. Run free buddy, we miss you terribly, and we will do our best to live life as you did. Loyal to a fault, making no apologies for your actions, and just happy to be. We love you Sal.
