My
little girl Kiva is a deaf Dalmatian that adopted me thirteen
years ago. When I first looked into her crystal blue eyes, she had me.
She is the smartest dog I have ever had and I have had dogs all my life.
She knows a doggie sign language that I taught her and she observes
everything including people's facial expressions which she tries to
mimic. Sometimes she is too smart and quickly learns by watching how to
open doors, refrigerators, cabinets, camper doors, fence gates, and
more. So I have to really think outside the box when it comes to keeping
her contained. She smiles from ear to ear when you greet her with a
thumbs-up (good girl) and no one is a stranger. She is hardly ever more
than ten feet away from my side and travels with me every "Big Green
Van". She especially loves to go camping.
When I became a full time singer/songwriter I couldn't think of any
better name to call my Indie Record Label but Spotted Kiva Productions
after my little spotted girl, Kiva. She has toured with me from coast to
coast and everyone in the Indie music scene knows Kiva as much as me.
She has even sat with me on stage while I performed and is always loved
by the audience and the people we meet in our travels. She quietly hangs
out in the recording studio when I record music projects. Producer Paul
Opalach said, "Kiva is better behaved than most humans I have in my
studio." She is usually the featured star on my CD covers. I went
through a tough battle with cancer and it was Kiva's smiling face and
true devotion to me that kept me fighting the battle to stay by her
side. So it is easy to see why she is the love of my life and is also so
well loved by everyone that meets her.
