Arctica
(Artie) joined our family as a gift for our father on Labor
Day, 1996 and every day since has been a pure joy. Amazingly, this eight
week old, little white ball of fluff ran directly to her new dad,
selected intuitively without hesitation from a large crowd, and sat
obediently at his feet, looking up at him almost as if to say,
"Here I am, pick me up and hug me." The tears were flowing
freely: Definitely destiny. So incredibly intelligent; without ever
having attended obedience school, she does the whole routine
flawlessly: Sit, down, heel, stay, etc., as well as numerous tricks,
were picked up almost immediately as if she understood English from
day one when sitting at dad's feet. Her insight into our emotions is
uncanny and she knows just when you need that extra little bit of
unconditional love that she so freely gives in the form of hugs (yes
hugs) or by offering up a favorite stuffed toy, snuggling in and
cuddling with you both. Her energy and enthusiasm for life brightens
even the gloomiest of days and her comedic escapades keep us all
smiling and laughing. There is no way that we could possibly come near
returning to her what she has given to us... but we all try. A biased
opinion: Artie is, by a long shot, the best dog in the world.
