Hi there Kiva! Happy, happy Dog of the Day to you, sweet spottie girl! What a beautiful Dal you are, Kiva; just look at that smile, the love radiating from those gorgeous blue eyes! Like my poster pals before me, I was so moved by your utterly precious photos (matching spottie gear, a spottie snowman), reading of the everlasting bond of love, trust friendship you and your Mommy share! You two truly are soul mates, best friends for life! It's no wonder you're on her CD cover, that her indie company is named after you; you're her soul and inspiration!

One of my most cherished books of all time is a little known gem titled "Dogs and Their Women," by Louise Taylor; a compilation of heartwarming photos and essays celebrating the very special bond between dogs and their ladies, of all ages, shapes and sizes! (Dogs and women). Your and your Mommy's love story, your photo spread, are pages right out of that book! (Here's a link, in case you'd like to have a look!)

What a wonderful life you and your Mom have been blessed with, traveling the country together, coast to coast; camping and performing, just enjoying the sights and sounds and each others company! I can't imagine a better traveling partner, a better best friend than you, Kiva; you're simply amazing!

Congratulations on being crowned our very special, most deserving honoree, sweetheart! It was a pleasure and truly an honor, getting to know you; reading all about your wonderful life and all that you mean to your Mommy, all that she means to YOU! I wish for and her an extra special day of celebration, and many, many more wonderful, loved filled years together!!! Big hugs and kisses to you, precious Kiva, Dog of a Lifetime!!!
(P.S...The photo of you and your Mommy on the couch brought tears to my eyes!)
