In this meaningful episode of Almost Paradise in North Idaho, Ted introduces his new “Morning Brew” segment — a simple way to begin the day with reflection, gratitude, and a little North Idaho perspective.

But this sunrise also carries a sunset. Ted shares a heartfelt farewell to Missy, their 18½-year-old rescue dog who quietly blessed the family for a decade. Independent and steady, she reminded them that faithful presence is its own kind of love.

In both beginnings and goodbyes, we’re reminded that every season is a gift — and that even the smallest lives leave lasting fingerprints on our hearts.
