#BringBarleyHome
Barley was born on November 8th, 2024, as part of a sweet litter of eight—three boys and five girls. Barley was chosen at the beginning of January to be my gluten-detecting puppy after I made my 10% deposit.
As I watch from a distance the training to help Barley become my gluten-detecting hero, I can’t help but think about how much this journey will change everything—just like the characters in my novels who learn to trust and grow through their own trials.
Stay tuned for updates on Barley’s progress, behind-the-scenes moments, and all the exciting steps leading us to our new, gluten-free future together!
