Sparkler ZeD lost his Uncle Nikko (an iPup) this year, and that has been a hard adjustment for their entire family — Nikko is so dearly loved and missed. Tony sends us this birthday update from ZeD’s active California life:
“Since Nikko’s been gone, ZeD has become quite attached to me. I feel bad that I couldn’t devote more time to him when Nikko was sick. Now we spend more time together than ever, exploring many places on the weekends while walking at least 4 miles a day during the week. One curious thing, ZeD hasn’t found anymore money on his walks in the last 6 months. We love to come and sit at the rest stops where Nikko used to sit as we know he’s there with us.
Here’s Zed every time he’s on the tennis court!
This is ZeD getting in the theme of the 2023 National…
We walk in the cold, rain or fog!
Steak and ice cream for birthday dinner!
Happy Birthday to all the Sparklers!”
Thank you, Tony — and how very curious about the money. Nikko especially regularly found surprising amounts of money on their daily walks — he even had a bank account for it! And now — none? For all those months?! These dogs certainly make their continuing presence known in some interesting ways ❤️
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZeD!!!
Next up is Jordan, who also enjoys such a well-loved and active life. But first — here is a baby photo of Jordan and ZeD together — how cute is this?!
CUTENESS ALERT!
Dianne shares:
“Jordan at 6 still loves all matter of training, be it working out in the gym, pulling her cart, using her nose, or working on some obedience skills. These days though she also enjoys quiet time in front of the fire.
This past year Jordan made room for yet another puppy, did a few RV trips and did some draft work.
For her birthday Jordan was gifted a rare huge dump of snow!
GORGEOUS! And dump indeed…
She enjoyed a lovely long hike with her house siblings and is now cozying up to the fire.
Jordan wishes all her fellow Sparklers a very special birthday!”
Thank you, Dianne, for the update — and for recognizing all that Jordan is and could be ❤️
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN!!!
