The Sparklers are FIVE years old today — all nine of them.
Lori knows how to get a party started — check out THIS VIDEO she made in honor of Ruthie’s fifth birthday. Well done, Lori!
This is a photo of Ruthie with Sparkler parents, Major and Sparkle…
Major just celebrated his eighth birthday — HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Major!
Lori shares, “Ruthie had a wonderful year! She earned her Rally Novice title and her CD title in obedience plus a second pass in Novice Draft along with the Triathlete award at the specialty.
We started nose work this year and I think it might be her favorite game, although it’s hard to tell - she loves everything we do. I hope to get more serious about getting a tracking title. Too bad tracking test opportunities are so few.
We wish all the Sparklers a happy birthday and send our thanks to Sparkle, Major and Mary-Ann.”
Lori and Baby Ruthie
Thank you, Lori, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RUTHIE!

We have this report from New Hampshire:
“Five years of being sparkly certainly sped by. Kiri has led me on a whole new set of Berner adventures. With the litter named for MT mountains, Kiri's litter name was Chalice. Remarkably Chalice Peak is within sight of Tumble Mt and our oldest Berner at the time was Tumble.
Kiri Wiggle is a lively young lady who brings bounce and joy to our lives every day. She loves long woods walks and especially delights in plopping into any and all puddles, shallow and deep, clear or the gooiest of mud, always with a grin on her face. She is a champion cuddler, especially at night, and has claimed access to all the cozy furniture in the house. She even occasionally uses a dog bed. The best Kiri Kumquat ever.
Sending best 5th Birthday wishes to all the Sparklers.”
Thank you, Alison, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KIRI!
Back to the west, we have an update from the new AKC Champion/Dual Versatility Dog: “Jordan here reporting in from the road healthy, happy and living the best life.
I am kicking up my heels in anticipation of celebrating the best fifth birthday ever and wishing all my fellow Sparklers do the same.”
Thank you and CONGRATULATIONS, Dianne, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JORDAN!
Baby Jordan
We will (hopefully) have birthday updates from everyone over the next day or two.
A very Happy Day to all of those Limited Edition, extra-special Major x Sparkle babies.
Kay made this when we were expecting — thank you, Kay, for helping us capture memories.
Cupcakes, all around!
