Hello everyone at RAPS,As promised, I thought I'd send you a quick update on our wonderful puppy, Sola. You knew her as Sparkle, but we decided to give her a new name. Sola means "lonely" or "lone girl," to remember her sad past when her siblings died. However, you would never know now that she had endured an ounce of tragedy. She's the spunkiest little thing and keeps us laughing all day long.
Right now we are visiting my parent's property on Quadra Island before we head over to the farm at Read Island. Sola is so happy to be out of the city and have lots of room to play. Best of all, she has met her "Uncle" Jack, a Husky/Basset cross whom she adores. The two play all day long and Jack is patient and gentle, but teaching her some manners. Sola is very smart, knows how to sit and is close to housebroken. But she is thrilled to have another dog with which she can romp.
You can see from the pics that she has discovered the ocean and is happy to wade right in. In fact, she doesn't seem to be afraid of anything... except snow! Bad memories maybe.
Anyways, just thought we'd let you know that she is healthy and happy. Eating lots, I think she's doubled in size in a week! We got some eye drops for her red eyes, but otherwise the vet gave her a totally clean bill of health.Lots of love from
Catherine, Guthrie and Sola!
