Yes, today, the dobermutt turns TWO years old!! Where has the time gone?! Oh.. right. Ivy must have eaten it LOL.
I don't know how or why, but, throughout all the trials and tribulations (and there were many), Ivy and I have made it through with good times to spare. Despite all the behavioral issues, despite the turmoil, despite disappointment and frustration, Ivy has taught me patience, understanding, and acceptance. And she's made me a helluva better trainer and owner At a point where I was ready to accept failure and mediocrity, Ivy showed me an alternative route and a whole 'nother dream.
From this little babydog:
To this lanky teenager:
To this now TWO-year-old:
and from rally-o:
to agility:
Ivy has been an effortlessly forgiving partner and companion.
I really couldn't have asked for a better dog Happy birthday girl! Here's to many more!
