When Digby Pancake joined our family in 2010, Peanut Butter Brickle didn’t quite welcome him with open paws.
But he showed him love in a different way. He showed Digby, a discarded hunting dog, that it was ok to feel safe. That is was ok not to try and run away. And although Digby always had a wandering spirit, that is what made him…him. What also made Digby complete was being kind. And going with us to the shelters and rescues we visited on the road.
Digby worked hard. I’ll never forget filming a rescue video in North Carolina, and hearing him howling in the front office.
He always made his point. He always told us it was time for dinner.
This year, we honor Digby in the way we have every year since we passed. But this year, it looks a bit different, doesn’t it? We lost Brickle this year too. And it would be easy to not confront the reality this year of our emotions. And not celebrate Live Like Digby Day. But we won’t do that. If we have our 2 Traveling Dogs family with us.
It is our goal to devote the month of December, not just December 1st, to Digby. Our goals are as follows.
- Visit a shelter in Italy and show how rescue dogs matter everywhere. We would also like to treat the dogs to an American favorite! Pancakes!
- We would love to send pancake treats to the shelter Digby originally was saved at in Jacksonville, Florida. Although that shelter has closed, another in the same building helps the community there now!! And has changed for the better. Digby was transferred from there to the Humane Society Of Tampa Bay in order not to be euthanized. We would also like to send food and treats to them.
- We would like YOU to make your dogs pancakes on December 1st!
This isn’t just for Digby. It’s for the whole 2 Traveling Dogs family. To help us all remember we can make a difference together. And to remember every life matters. Even Digby who is not with us physically can continue to make a difference with your help.
