Incredible Ice!

What a beautiful girl you are, Ice! How fun your mom has known you since you were a baby - and how neat that she included your baby picture, when you were mostly white with your black patches! I did not know Australian Cattle Dogs were born with white fur! It is great she knows your breed well, too, so knows how important training is for you! But we think it is great you have a big sister in Stormie, I am sure she did a lot of work with you early on, including lessons like, "Do NOT stand on your sister!" And just being where helped your mom through a hard time, to we know you are already a very important member of the family!

Hi Ice! Happy Dog of the Day to you!

What a beautiful Australian Cattle Dog you are, beautiful inside and out! (That loving expression in your top photo is heart melting.) And besides being beautiful, and true to your breed, so smart and athletic, with a most impressive lineage!

Ice is well on her way to becoming a champion like her mother as well as her father who just took a Grand Championship title

And as much as I enjoyed reading your devoted human's heartwarming tribute, one need only look through your utterly precious photospread to see how well cared for, how happy, how completely LOVED you are, Stormie too! And speaking of Stormie (your trusty sidekick), what an adorable duo you two make

I'm so very sorry to hear of the tragic passing of your mom's girlfriend's twin brother. I'm sure her support during that most difficult time meant the world to the family. And through it all there you were, waiting patiently until it would be "your turn," selflessly offering comfort to your family, your mom; helping to bring some much needed smiles to her days.

You truly are one extra special pup, Ice, a true treasure, and your family so very blessed to have a furry soul mate, a best friend for life, in you!

Thanks to your mom for sharing your very special story and all of those precious photos with us! Meeting you has made my rainy day a whole lot brighter! I hope you and dear Stromie are enjoying a very happy Dog of the Day, doing all sorts of fun stuff, being treated to all your hearts desire and more! You both deserve it! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Ice, and to darling Stormie, too!

Oh My Goodness! What two adorable sweet dogs you have in Ice and Stormie; I like both of them. Seems as if I couldn't mention one without the other. ok, Back to Ice, I really enjoyed your writeup and the great photos. Look how the coloring has changed from Ice as puppy to a grown girl. I'm glad you had the dogs when things got rough; they're good listerners and friends through good and bad. I hope both your dogs have many more happy healthy years with you. Ice, Congrats on being DOTD!
