Midlife Antics, Life After 50…

Carl & Violet

Life’s the Pits is a candid look at midlife antics and the rescue story of Carl and Violet. A glance into an unlikely duo who have made midlife an unexpected pleasure. Both were at the shelter at three years of age adopted six months apart. Most people would assume there was an issue, but both proved to be sweet and became the best of pals. Midlife can make some of us cynical if you aren’t careful. But most of it can be comedic if you find the humor in life’s pitfalls. Carl and Violet taught me to be happy no matter what life throws at you. I love the breed, but I am not here to convince everyone they need one. More to change the stigma around them.
