Welcome to Back Roads & Barking Dogs — where the roads are dusty, the dogs are loud, and the stories are unfiltered.
Join Kat as she talks small-town drama, country life, animals, faith, family, and the kind of everyday moments that make you laugh, cry, or shake your head. It’s real life with a little bark and a whole lot of heart.
A heartfelt look back at Easter in a small town—new dresses, egg hunts, family gatherings, and the simple traditions that made the day feel so special. A reminder of how those little moments stay with us forever.
