Our baby girl, Chelsea turned 6
yesterday! We are celebrating today
though; a I had to work yesterday. We are taking the 4 golden fuzz buts
swimming in our pool in a little while.
And later today they will all get homemade waffles with whipped cream as
her special treat! They got the same
for Jake’s birthday two weeks ago.
Chels is our goof-girl that is the Supreme Alpha Princess of the
Universe!! We love & adore her
like there is no tomorrow!
And I will always be eternally grateful
to Gina & can’t thank her enough, each birthday that Chels has. If
it were not for Gina making a very wise & perhaps difficult decision the
evening before Chelsea’s litter was supposed to go home… there is a
possibility that I may not have my baby girl today.
To make a long story as short as possible;
I bonded very intensely with Chelsea from the age of 3 weeks, yet there was another family that also
wanted her. I was “third pick”
in line for a female puppy & there were only 3 girls in her litter. Up through
& until the evening before the big “go home day”, I did not
know if I were going to get my little silver ribbon pup or not. I remember crying endlessly the day
before, as I just knew that it was destiny that she was meant to be my puppy! Gina was not actually Chelsea’s breeder (as she was not the owner of the Sire or the Dam). Correct me if I’m
wrong, Gina… but I think the terminology is that you were “co-breeder
of record” with the AKC & it had something to do with Gina mentoring Chelsea’s breeder.
But in the end, everything turned out how
it was meant to be. In honor of
Gina’s decision – we kind of gave Chelsea’s AKC registered name because of a six week puppy picture of
where Gina was handling each pup in “stacking positions” on a
grooming table. Gina was wearing a
red t-shirt with white lettering that said “Born to Break Hearts”. So, Chelsea became “TK Born to Break Hearts”. And she has been our little heartbreaker
ever since! She is a registered pet
therapy dog & always touches and warms the hearts of all the patients she
visits!
So, THANK YOU GRANDMA, GINA… with
all of our hearts!
