Hi Katie! Happy Dog of the Day!

What a beautiful, heartening, inspirational tribute your "wiser than her/his years" human has shared with us, Katie. Her/his words are testament to, re-affirmation of the best in the storied, centuries old human/canine bond. Your human toiled long and hard, saving up to make her/his dream of being a dog parent come true, and how well her/his sacrifice and hard work have been rewarded! In you your human has been blessed with not only a partner in the show ring, a best friend, but a soul mate. You and she have already racked up a most impressive list of accomplishments, including a most impressive array of titles and ribbons! But as she/he says, those "wins," as impressive as they are, can't hold a candle to the love and devotion you two share! And moving forward, I have no doubt there is nothing you two can't achieve, taking on the world together!

The ribbons are not what matter to me, because in the end, it's just Katie and me. Everything I've accomplished is because of my friend, Katie. She could do it all, I know she could; from our first five-hour hike in the woods, to our first ASCA Nationals. We took it on together, as we always do. I found myself my heart dog, and she is always right there when I need her. When push comes to shove, we taste what we're made of and every time we get up, we come back, and we keep on the sunny side.
How lucky your human is, having found her heart dog, her furry soul mate in you, Katie. You're a treasure, beautiful inside and out, and so very deservng of being honored here today! Many thanks to your human for sharing your heartwarming backstory and beautiful photos with us! Meeting you has been pure joy! Hope you enjoy a very special day of celebration, sweetheart, doing all sorts of fun stuff with your person, being treated to all your heart desires and more! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to, you beautiful Kaite, Dog of the Day, Dog of a Lifetime!

Beautiful!!!
