Good morning, Betty Ann
Today, three years ago, our beautiful Marley was born and in September she came home to live with us. In her three years, she has become a superstar in our family and increasingly in the Rally O world as well as in the winter mushing and skijoring world.
In the mushing world she is now nicknamed “the Chocolate Rocket”. She is a dog of strength and determination. She is focussed and hard driving. Her stamina and her structure are beautiful to look at and watch. She has remained a lab on the smaller size and her coat and colouring are stunning.
In this past year she has entered into Rally Obedience trials twice and has qualified each time. We have two blue ribbons and will try for a third in October. I am so very proud of her. Our original goal was for her to become a therapy dog and to that end, she passed her temperament and basic obedience tests. In October she is going to Dryden to (hopefully) earn her CGN (Canine Good Citizenship).
This little doggy is the delight of our grand daughter who is the same age as her. They are beautiful together and find joy in each other’s company.
As for us, her ‘mom and dad’, she forces us to stay active. We have her out for 45 minute run four days a week and the other three days she spends with our trainer out in the country swimming and roaming with four other dogs….her buddies.
We have experienced so much joy, laughter and love with her and once again, I am sending you our gratitude for the incredible breeding of labs.
We feel truly blessed that our Covid puppy has become such a source of joy and pride in our senior years.
I hope you are well and that you and your family continue to produce labs of such high quality.
Sincerely
