From one spottie fan to another.

YAY - I am the first to wish you a very, very special day beautiful girl!!

I was so happy to read that even tho you are a deaf puppy - your Mum has taught you well (or YOU have taught your Mum well??)

I would love to visit and play with your toys.

Have a great DOTD day sweetheart:D

How did I know Captain would be me to today's thread?!?

Good morning beautiful Zepplin! What a stunning girl you are! Have a wonderful day today, and tell your mom maybe it's time for a new toy, in honor of your special day!!

You are so pretty, Zeppelin, beautiful in every sense of the word :D
I'm so glad your humans knew enough to look past your so called "handicap". No one is perfect, although it sounds to me like you come pretty close :D
Your heartwarming story is a wonderful way to start my day ;) Congratulations Beautiful Dog of the Day, Zeppelin! It's well deserved.

You are a very pretty lady. Sorry that you cannot hear but that means that you are loved that much more. Glad that you have learned to communication with your human mom. I know that she loves you very much. I would if you were mine. Have a great life.:) :) :)

Hello Zeppelin,

You are so lovely I had to de-lurk from a posting drought of at least a couple years to send you love and licks from the Great White North!

Tell your mom that my deaf-since-birth lab/bordercollie does the exact same thing when really excited to see visitors; she will actually run away to go and fetch her toy before running back for a proper wiggle-bum greeting! It's a shame how many people think the lack of hearing is a fault; in our case, we have found our little Jewel to be wonderfully disciplined and a very sound sleeper (except her eyes tend to be half open, kinda creepy).

Zeppelin, your story brought tears to my eyes this morning.

You are a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart, as well.

Congratulations sweetie!

Well first let me say I just knew that our captain would be the first to post about you;)

And second I agree with Cincy'sMom, I think you definately deserve a new toy in honor of your special day!

It's so wonderful that your family wanted to keep you even after learning of your deafness. I have a friend who has a deaf dog and they wouldn't give her back to the breeder for anything. They too decided they would work past her handicap:)

I hope you enjoy today and many, many more to come!!!

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

Congratulations, Zeppelin Chance! You are a very beautiful lady--I want to kiss you on your white forehead! I hope that you have a great day playing with your family and your toys. Ask for a special treat today--I'll bet your mom won't be able to resist!

Zeppelin, you are beautiful in every way! It is so heartwarming to read your story and know that you are so well loved.

How sweet that you bring a toy in friendship to everyone that meets you. How I would love to be one of those that receives your welcome and greeting.
