Colby is 10 today!!

This photo was taken by her foster home when she was only 4 months old!
This was taken two winter's ago at Scarborough beach. She was just cleared to do some beach walking after having knee surgery in January that year.
She works hard hunting moles in my yard and when she gets too hot she likes to cool off in the bird bath. I then bought her a kiddie pool!!


Her favorite thing to do is hunt rodents!!



We modeled one year for Velvet. It was to honor Frannie Peabody that year, who loved boas. Unfortunately, the one thing Colby is afraid of are feathers. The cat walk was covered with little feathers that had fallen off previous model's boas. I had to carry her. She modeled a lovely wool coat with faux fur lining and collar and a leash and collar from Fetch!!



Agility is something she enjoys and is very good at! She is my best team mate!!! My best friend and the most wonderful little dog. A truly awesome representation of the Miniature Pinscher temperament! As a MinPin should be - bold, self-possessed, spirited presence and fearless animation. She is a gem!!






She has been a top 10 Miniature Pinscher in agility for the past six years! Competing in 07 at the AKC Agility Invitational in Long Beach, missing the finals by one tiny mistake!! She ROCKED out there!!











Born at "Love My Puppy" puppmill in MO, which is considered the puppymill capitol of the US, she was sold to a college kid from a pet store in RI. He soon realised she had WAY too much energy and got into the trash and wasn't housetrained and was too much for him. He gave her to rescue. She was never mis-treated and is the nicest girlie!! Just a wonderful gem of a dog, giving me so much these 9 1/2 years. We got her when she was 5 months.


Happy Birthday COLBY!!!
