iPup Ava has had an adventuresome year! Kathy sends us this report:
“Ava has had a full year. Admittedly she has not done any obedience showing. She earned one Utility leg, but then Jack retired two years ago and we moved to Arizona. We have been on the go ever since. This year we have spent time in San Diego, Wickenburg (our home). Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, and Overland Park, Kansas. It’s a good thing Ava is a wonderful traveler. I don’t know where home is most of the time any more. Ava is truly my heart dog though, and I find that wherever Ava is I am home.
She is a lover and snuggler, and whenever she can she is curled on as much of my lap as she can squeeze onto.
At Christmas we were in San Diego where she met a motion activated Yoda (Grandson’s Christmas present). It caused her to jump a time or two, but she found it very entertaining.
She is beautiful and loves the early mornings in the desert.
We have a beautiful dog park that she and Zimmer enjoy when no one else is around.
Most of all she is healthy, happy and a most adored member of our family.
Happy birthday to all those iPups. We are also remembering Scarlett and George gone much too soon. May the rest of these pups have many more birthdays.”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA!
Thank you, Kathy and Jack. I sure miss seeing all of them on my trips to Salt Lake City but what a grand life they are having. Family reunion — Arizona in February??
And now Sparkle!
So many traits identified in the iPup Birthday Reports are the same for Sparkle: loving, devoted, very cuddly, smart — and most of all: exuberant. About everything!
Knock on wood, Sparkle remains healthy and busy and happy and is always ready for action. At the Specialty, she earned her Rally Novice title (all legs at National Specialties :) and the Advanced Novice Draft Dog title…
Sparkle became a grandma! THE BEST!!!!
I am so grateful that Sparkle is here and healthy and EIGHT! I am sure she speaks for her iSibs when she says…
Please have a GREAT day — even if you not eight.
