touch and helps dogs of all sizes, shapes and ages to feel at
home in the warm, soothing water.

weeks in a cast she is re-building muscle and making up for
lost time/exercise in the pool... and then she pretends to be a
hat on Cindy's head.

one point shy of her Canadian Championship!!! Congratulations
Enya!!!
