Magnum turns 14 years old today!!!
Helen Marie says: "Magnum the Magnificent's 14th Birthday. Here is my favorite puppy photo of him. He is such a great companion, buddy, pal. My HEART Dog for sure!!! What a life that old 'dude' has had. He earned his CD at age 1, we got his AKC Ch at age 2 (owner handled). He has his UDX and 9 OTCH points. He earned his VER and his JH at age 12 1/2. He retired himself from Agility last year with am Excellent JumpersPreferred title and unfortunately short two legs from his Excellent Standard Preferred (old age caught up with him). He had four invitations to the Obedience Invitational and got to attend twice. AND he is the boy who survived virilent anal sac cancer at age 9. What this old man of mine has done and where he has taken me - so many of the things we did and the titles we earned together were FIRSTS for me - getting my feet wet and stumbling along with a dog who was willing to try anything I threw at him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAGNUM!!!"


Happy Birthday to you Magnum, may you enjoy many happy days ahead!!

Christy, thank you for the wonderful comments about Magnum, brings tears to my eyes - he has been such a great boy. Sydney and Jennifer, it is so nice to read that what I feel about Magnum and he toward me shows so much. I am glad that our connection and love can be seen by those who watched us work.
