Happy 9th Birthday, Halo!

Somehow she is NINE! Halo really came into her own this year when she discovered Barn Hunt. She’s the only V we’ve ever had that really loves the game. We joke that she likes it so much because she just gets to play “clean up.” She points out the dirty things, and you move them out of the area; perfect activity. As a mother, she kept her whelping box and her puppies impeccably clean. She is our official ear cleaner and groomer in the house. So a cleaning game? She is all in!

Halo also LOVES her baby Cheeky, us, butter, and hiking. She remains a horrendous counter surfer (especially for softening butter) and there isn’t a baby gate high enough to contain her. She knows to bark when Jenny starts talking to her computer, she’s figured out Jenny will immediately get her a bully stick to finish her conference call in peace. She’s smart as a whip, intensely loving, and remains the prettiest girl. We love you Baby Hay!

And in other news, Halo’s daughter Maggie had some agility success today. The Goldens always hold an outdoor trial in conjunction with their Summer Specialty. It’s outdoors and blazing hot, but that didn’t prevent Maggie from picking up a JWW Excellent leg! Go Mags!
