BIRTHDAY

Today is a wonderful, amazing, terrific, and awesome day — nine years ago the iPups entered the world.

Newborn Sparkle

These very special dogs — sons and daughters of Zoey and Fil — went into the most perfect homes…

I wish I could say that all eight were still with us — and actually they are, but just not all physically on this earth anymore. I must start this birthday celebration, therefore, by remembering — with love — Scarlett, George and Kidd. Yes, they are still with us, tucked safely in our hearts.

Please rest your heart and mind on those three iPups and their wonderful families who will especially feel this bittersweet birthday.

I know well how blessed I am to have my fun and funny, amazing and awesome, energetic and excellent Sparkle in my life for these past nine years…

Alison wrote about iPup Tristan that he was nine going on three — I laughed out loud because that is 100% Sparkle. She is a lot of happy dog — all the time. Going on a walk? Barking and spinning and jumping — repeat. Bowls on the floor? Racing around to pick them up.

Everything with Sparkle is full speed ahead — including her JOY. She is so aptly named.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARKLE!!

iPup Nikko has been receiving treatment for Histio since last fall — this is why it is 100% fine to choose to treat a dog with cancer…

It is not wrong to want more birthdays. Nikko has done so well with his treatment, and I cannot say enough good and grateful things about the care he receives from his loving, smart, and kind family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKKO!

Nine going on three Tristan…

Active and happy and dapper.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISTAN!
