| Kipper is a Keeper! I have been a member since we first brought Kipper home on Memorial Day 2012, but it has taken me this long to figure out how to post a picture and start a new thread. I am a slow learner! Kipper was 8 weeks old when I bought him from a breeder about 2 hours away from our home. It was love at first sight! I have never owned a small dog before, so I have been busy gathering information available on this site. I am interested in getting him ready to apply for a therapy dog certification, as we have been foster parents for terminally ill and very disabled children in the past and I would like to take him into nursing homes to cheer the residents when our church goes each month. While he is still young, I can be watching for those traits that make a good therapy dog. So far, he is very promising, as he loves people, other animals, and children! He just needs to learn some obedience (he does come now when called. He is also learning to tolerate classical piano, as our daughter is preparing to audition for her doctoral degree in piano performance (he still barks at her when she is playing). I still need to learn how to create an "avatar" so I think I will work on that now! I feel so blessed to have you all as dog buddies! It encourages me to see the love and kindness you extend to your little ones and I am learning so much! Thank you all! |

| Thank you all for your sweet comments. I am so in love with this little boy! I told my husband that I could buy a houseful of them (but I will resist that urge for now)! I have still not figured out where to go to get the picture of him as an "avatar." If anyone could direct me to the correct site, I would really appreciate it! By the way, Kipper's human owner's name is Susan. I am an accountant for the manufacturing corporation that my husband and I own, so Kipper can come to work with me when I am there. The other two days, I work as a housekeeper (for an employer I have had for 42 years!) and my daughter takes care of Kipper for me (she lives with us). |

| Here is a picture of him on my dirty rug on the back porch, chewing his favorite squeaky toy duck. He will run after all of his toys and put them back in his little bed. He has endless energy, yet will quietly lay in his bed while I am working on the computer, although he prefers sleeping on the couch in my office so he can seem closer to me. |

| Hooray! I finally happened upon a site that gave me the option to edit my avatar. I clicked on that and went from there. I will have to get busy and add more pictures of my little cutie! My daughter says Kipper smells like saliva, since all we do is kiss and kiss on him! I told my husband to brush his teeth before he kisses on my puppy, so at least he will smell like toothpaste instead of plain old spit! Ha ha! |
