Oh so true, Laurie….all ARE wearing that Superdog cape! We’ll look forward to sharing the news of the new little one when we know more.

In reply to JoAnn Tremel. The recognition is certainly key, isn't it, JoAnn? I'm looking forward to seeing what our new canine kid will bring into our lives!

In reply to Linda Rudder. Thanks, Linda. Just like us, they're all individuals and teach us so much.

They’re all super dogs in their own right. It is difficult not to compare, especially dogs of the same breed. A little comparison from time to time is fun, but your point is a very good one. Thanks for the wisdom. I wish you all the fun in the world with your future canine friend!

Wonderful story. I know the feeling. The thing is to make all your dogs super dogs for their individual personality. I have 4 super dogs right now. One came to me when I was low in life and although she didn’t make a great competition obedience dog, when I’m down, I can alway look across the room and see her eyes watching me. It always brings me up. One is more independent and is just a good friend. My 13 year old Italian Greyhound (because Italian Greyhounds are soft dogs by nature) taught me I have to be kind in my training. And my younger, a 1yr. old very intelligent and strong driving dog papillon has tested my patience, but I know he is here to do something special with me and take me to the next step with my training. I’ve had dogs that were very special to me and some who didn’t have the same connection, but all were loved for who they were. I guess my point is, make all of them a super dog for what they are. Each one contributes in their own way. We just need to recognize it.

Such a sweet tribute to your Gibson and powerful words for all of us to remember. Thank you, Lisa, for reminding us that each of our dogs has his or her own personality and qualities.
