Happy Birthday Chana!


Chana turned 4 years old today. According to the Pedigree Dog Age Calculator, she is 32 years old in human age. That make three of us the same age, and this is very very special as dogs age faster than humans. This means that she will be the eldest in our household next year... I think I have to call her "Chana-san" as a polite Japanese would do to respect seniority.

Chana was a litter of six, two of the last pups when we went to see her. The other one had hernia, so we chose the "healthy one" who in the end developed umbilical hernia (belly button). Chana often had a fit when she was young, loved to eat so called "wild delicacy" aka goose droppings, and traumatized a couple o
f young puppies by pinning them down to the ground and growling like a mad dog...

Luckily she has grown out of all of that. Four years ago, we got a "dog." Now we have a "partner" in agility and obedience training. I would like to thank all of my trainers who helped us come this far and showed Nathan and I how to enjoy Chana to the fullest.
