Megan & The Sausage Says Story

“If dogs can race into each moment with joy, find magic in every tiny freedom, and wag at the unknown — then maybe we can, too.”

That simple truth inspired Sausage Says.
Because in a world that often feels loud, rushed, and heavy, dogs remind us to look up, breathe deeper, and find wonder in the smallest things — a rustling leaf, a muddy puddle, a trail no one else notices.

I’ve always been that person who feels most alive outdoors —
the kid who wanted to fly away with the butterflies,
who saved beetles from sidewalks,
and grew up utterly captivated by every creature that crossed my path.
Animals, nature, and curiosity have always been my North Star…
I just didn’t realize for a long time that they were also pointing me back to myself.

For years, I poured my entire being into people and things that drained me.
I gave my best to the paths I was told to follow, even though my heart was never truly in them.
Eventually, it became exhausting.
My spark dimmed. My joy shrunk.
My creativity felt buried under layers of expectation and survival.

And then came Sausage —
my mismatched-eyed, joyful, wild-child cheese-brained Labsky
who never waits, never doubts, never apologizes for living fully.

The more time we spent together on walks, trails, and windy lake days, the more I noticed something:

Dogs don’t wait.
They leap.
They explore.
They look forward to whatever comes next.

Somewhere in those snorts, zoomies, muddy paws,
and every wild mile of freedom we wandered together,
I finally understood what I had been missing:

I didn’t just want a different life — I needed to create it.

Sausage Says became my way home.
My way of choosing freedom over fear, creation over burnout,
and heart over everything else.

I wanted to build a place where others could feel that same breath of peace —
a place where people and their pets could escape the noise,
even if just for a minute.

A place made of real sniffs, real trails, real weather, real moments,
and real love.
A place built from the tiny, tender moments
that make life feel soft again.

Proof that joy can be made by paw and heart.
Proof that the world still has soft, gentle places if you know where to walk.
Proof that one wild dog and one wild little dream can change everything.

And maybe one day, that dream will carry us farther — down quiet highways, across new trails, filming sunrises from the little adventure van I’ve always imagined. Freedom on wheels, tail wags in the passenger seats, stories waiting wherever this new road takes us.

If Sausage Says brings you comfort, or calm, or even a smile —
then it’s already done its job.

So if you’re here, welcome.
Grab your coat. Lace up your boots.
Come walk with us.
There’s room on this trail for you, too. 🐾
