Ritter, this is Drew, over. It was your 6th birthday yesterday, how copy?
“Woof.”
11 June 2018, Bandit was born at Baden K9 in Canada… It was a fitting name and I probably would’ve kept it if I had known about it before I named him Ritter. I like his name though, Ritter is a good name for a good dog. (But Bandit does fit his personality)
This year he’s already traveled around 10,000 miles with me, including a cross country trip to Oregon and back. I’d like to treat you to a few pics of Ritter in 2024.
This year. Misty and I got professional headshots done. Ritter joined us. Huge thanks to Jim McAndrew Professional headshots! Book him here: https://jimmcandrewphotography.com
Some days you’ll find Ritter hiding in the curtains.
Misty and I stopped to eat dinner and watch the sunset where she captured the above image.
Misty flew out to Oregon and drove back with me across the US. (More on that in a future post) We decided to include Ritter in our selfie at the Mall of America. As usual, he made himself the center of attention.
Don’t forget to slow down and smell the flowers. Life is short so make the most of everyday!
