Happy FIRST Birthday to our Napa! Wow, I can’t believe she is a year old already. It seems like just yesterday I was trying to convince my husband into letting me get another dog (I had been trying for about 2 years to no avail), he finally caved in once we put an offer on our house. That’s one thing about me, when I want something, I don’t give up!
I have always grown up with Heelers, so getting one of my own was just a matter of time. Farm life with them was always so fun, never a running buddy or play pal short. The thing I love about heelers is their energy: always full of it, restlessly protective of their family, and curious little beings.
There is no doubt in my mind that Napa was meant to be the dog for us. She contains all the above characteristics, is so smart, full of love and life, and has given us so much love and joy in the first year of her life. We have had our hard times with potty training, leash training, and building up the courage to play with other pups, but oh how rewarding it is to see all these things come together.
As I look back on this past year with our youngest babe, I can’t help but feel a little sad that she’s getting older, joy that she’s learning and growing with us, and excitement for what the coming years will bring.
Harley also got to enjoy some homemade treats and join in on the birthday festivities. On another note we have given some of our treats to some family and friend dog members and are happy to report that all the dogs have LOVED them! We can’t wait to make them available to you guys!
Happy Birthday Napa, we love you!
