The moment I saw Loki, barely any fur and thin, I was in love. I didn’t care if he grew his hair back or not, I just wanted him to know how much he meant to me and how much he was loved. He loved our grandkids, tolerated the cat, had a secret admiration for our shy girl CoCoa, teased Majick when he was a pup, and ran with Hazel and Jake when he was at his best. One of his most favorite things to do was to wander our yard. He was content to find a spot in the sun and go to sleep. Always needed a personal escort in though.

Lily was so fortunate to have a loving, patient and gentle forever family who helped her to blossom. Lily was frightened of many things initially, and with understanding and the great game of Nosework, she came out of her shell.  She earned several titles in Nosework. We had not intended on doing it, but Lily told us she loved it. Even when we were done competing, she still liked to play!  She grew into the confident, outgoing dog she was meant to be. She always kept her GSD sisters in line and let them know when they were having too much fun.
