Happy one year birthday Isa and Ilea from your brother Ivan!
Mum and Dad took me to the beach on Sunday (one day before the big snow storm) and took some birthday pictures to post. I hope to see some pictures of both of you soon. Have a great day and I hope you get lots of extra treats!
Enough with the posing…let’s have some fun!
Awe, come back and play with me
Ivan, your Mum is becoming quite the photographer! Happy Birthday to you, Isa and Ilea.
I must say that you are very handsome and especially in that first photo, it is obvious that you are Allie’s boy.
“your Mum is becoming quite the photographer!
I agree Carole…and check out the photo with all 4 feet off the ground!
Yes, and this is not Lynda’s first all 4 off-the-ground photo!
I can’t believe you are already a year old. Of course, you have managed to do an amazing number of things in that year!
“…you have managed to do an amazing number of things in that year!”
Ann, as always, you nailed it. Ditto’s what Ann said!!!
Yep—ditto what Ann said. With all that this team has accomplished, it is hard to remember that Ivan just turned one year!
Beautiful photos Lynda! Ivan has so many good traits that are hard to find right now. Thangs I notice as I research stud dogs: too much rear angulation, narrow or un-masculine heads, week pastern, poor feet, light eyes. All of these things are areas that Ivan is strong in. I am proud of him and all you have done with him! Thank you.
Hello, Lynda! Happy, happy birthday to Ivan, and to Ilea, too. Singer, it’s time for yours, too!
We feel so fortunate to have Isa. For her birthday today, my son and I took her on a hike–it’s much harder to tire her out when it’s cold out. Wish I’d thought to bring a camera along . . . but then again, it was enough of a challenge for me to stay upright! My son, who is a real outdoorsman and is in really good shape, was very gracious with me, though. I walk really slowly, I think. 🙂
Ivan, you are such a beautiful dog, and your mum does a great job of remembering to photograph your adventures!
The I litter has all been very successful in their first year. Isa excels as a companion dog and Ilea has blown everyone away with her fantastic tracking and already an AKC Tracking Dog! Ivan a VP3 at the sieger show and …Lynda refresh my memory on his other titles…I know he has a RN.
Julie, you must have our house bugged or you and Jack have some strange psychic link because at dinner tonight Jack brought up those very same comments about Isa and Ilea. He also mentioned that Just a Singer has a herding title. All the pups are doing just what thier people wanted them for.
Ivan also has his CGC and we are working towards a BH and CD. Now that he is a year old we are going to get him certified as a Therapy Dog as Jack wants to take him to our local nursing homes.
We are psychically connected. Maybe these pups are so awesome because they were nursed by two mother’s….maybe…but more likely they all got superstar owners!
You are right about this being a very successful/superstar litter with superstar owners.
