Exactly a year ago I had to bury the best dog I’ve ever met, and while I still miss him every day I’m still so thankful that I got to be there by his side through life. I knew it would be a while before I was ready to replace Moby, but just about two weeks ago I said I thought I might be ready for another dog. I knew that I was going to be super picky about him fitting in with my life as well as Moby did, and I have always believed in the random dog distribution system as a means of finding the right one. Little did I know that a dog that will definitely give Moby a run for his money would follow me over a mile back to the house on my ruck this week. He is an absolute lunatic that is so full of energy I don’t know how to fully handle it all, extremely loyal and devoted to such a degree that we really should have named him Velcro, and an absolute sweetie who lives for cuddles and attention — but most of all he reminds me of a younger Moby in so many ways that it’s honestly a little unsettling. I found Moby as a full grown stray roughly the same age as this fella, and I didn’t choose either of them; they absolutely chose me. After trying everything we could to see if he had a home somewhere this week, we’ve decided to name him Wiley, both for his demeanor and for his resemblance to a coyote, thus making him officially our dog. I don’t really believe in coincidence; so I truly believe God knew a new pup would help fill my already full heart so he sent him my way. Fortunately my new bride wanted a dog as well and already loves him too 🥰 She’s now got two strays in the house to take care of and love on so she’s definitely got her hands full! Let’s give a big welcome to Wiley and a tip of the cap to Moby who paved the way for him. Here’s to a lifetime of adventures together my friend!

We might not have gotten to race yesterday due to water coming up on the track from all the rain this week, but we were still able to have a great time completing the route for the Street Car Challenge here in Rockingham this weekend! The Javelin performed flawlessly on the street and we were able to snag a photo with the legendary at the second checkpoint as talked about his car. Good times, but we’re ready to race today! And a shoutout to for snagging some photos of us throughout the day as well!
