Moonshadows are Celebrating

We still need to hear from two Bright Stars but we can add those later (when I get them) β€” today we need to move on to the Moonshadows πŸŒ–

We must begin by remember the two Moonshadows who are not here to celebrate turning five with their littermates: Margie and Obie, who sadly died recently of a very aggressive Lymphoma πŸ’” They live in our hearts and our memories.

Remember Tiny Titan from the Moonshadows? He is not so tiny anymore! Sandhano and Paul share this report of the boy who is named Pippin, which is the same as the father of the litter (who is alive and well):

β€œPippin is the best hiking buddy.

Hard to believe he is going to be 5 yr. He stays close to us on hikes but does take some curiosity side sniffs ❀️

Thank you for letting us share our lives with Pippin.

Thank you, Sandhano and Paul, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIPPIN!!! πŸŽ‚

Jasen sends us this report about Andy:

β€œAndy is a happy boy always wants to do something.  Most likely the most vocal Berner I have ever known. 

We ventured into the ring sports in 2025.  We got a rally title and worked on some more legs.  Andy can be shy with new humans so we have taken many trips to Home Depot for him to meet new people. 

Maybe shy is to big of a word.  A loaf might be better as it only causes a problem when in the ring.  Which shows itself with him freezing up when the judge gets close.  If his big sister says it is ok then he is sitting on the foot. 

We continue to take training classes.  Andy is a great traveler and enjoys going on trips.  We look forward to this year.”

Thank you so much, Jasen! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!!! πŸŽ‰

Birthday, continued...

Claire and some of the Bright Stars 🌟

Today we hear from Dallas and get to see how grown up those K-Kids are now!!!

John shares:

β€œA very happy birthday to all! Dallas continues to be our rock in our whirlwind life of raising teens and preteens. 

She has grown to accept all the kids friends who visit often and loves the attention they all bring her. 

We are very thankful for our extended family nearby who volunteer to take care of Dallas when we travel to many out of town baseball tournaments. 

Dallas at the Farm!

She especially loves to play with all of the other dogs at the nearby "grandparents farm"!”

Thank you to Dallas’s wonderful family and HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLAS!!! πŸŽ‚
