Xeena (fka Zaniah) was the puppy in the litter I wanted to keep because of her energy/attitude, strong working ability, and related — because she reminded me of her great-grandma, Zoey. I was prepared to keep two puppies if she could not go to a home that would appreciate her. I knew she was that special.
Placing puppies always feels like giving away a piece of your heart — but this puppy? It was more like a piece of my soul.
But there was the perfect home — one that would value and love her. A person who would train her with intelligence, kindness, and patience. I am forever grateful that I knew I could trust Kim with this very special girl.
Here is our birthday update about Xeena, who is living her very best life north of me in Canada:
“Puppyhood is now behind us, and although she still has her teenager moments, Xeena has really started to mature in the past few months.
Xeena is still a very busy and active dog but she has learned to settle and has become quite the cuddly dog.
She has even perfected the art of the arm bump when you stop petting her.
Xeena is petite in stature and just a very sweet and gentle girl.
Xeena loves agility training and it gives her a fun outlet for her energy.
She also really likes using her nose and so we ventured into her first scent detection trials this past year.
I just love this smart, athletic and busy girl.
I can’t wait for our adventures over the next year.”
ME EITHER! Kim and her dogs (she has Daisy’s brother as well) are active on Facebook — they are fun to follow!
Thank you, Kim, for being the right person at the right time — and HAPPY BIRTHDAY XEENA!
