Ten months ago, I took home a little black and white ball of energy I could fit in two hands. She had big paws to fill because I had lost my previous dog four months prior and – although three cats are amazing company – I still had a big hole in my world.
On September 22, 2021, my little Sprocker – half Springer Spaniel and half Cocker Spaniel – Victoria is one year old! It’s a bitter sweet date, however. Also, on September 22, 2020 my mother died of cancer. 2020 was a horrible year, for many reasons.
That’s right – the puppy I searched high and low for was born the night of the day my mother died. Strange coincidence? Maybe. But animal communicator Ann Marie Hoff told me it isn’t – my mother sent Victoria to me, which is the story I’d like to go with. Apparently, though, my mother didn’t know how high energy Victoria would be. Neither did I.
Dog’s First Birthday Contest!
But here my puppy Victoria is – one year old! And yes, I named her in honour of my previous dog, Victor.
To celebrate a new beginning, and remember the years past, we’re hosting a give-away-contest to celebrate my dog’s First Birthday! No strings attached.
Two prize packs are available containing some of Victoria’s favourite things! (Not her actual things, of course — new things, just like the ones she loves). She’s spent the past eight months developing some discernable tastes.
Each dog birthday prize box contains the following:
(an approximate $50 CND value)
- A fleece blanket and fleece chew toy handmade with care – Victoria loved to chew on both.
- A tuffyJRbone extra tough stuffy – Victoria loves stuffies but is a shredder.
- A Chuckit Breath Right ball – Victoria LOVES these balls, and I do to because they allow air to pass through when crazy high-energy dogs are running with balls in their mouths
- Two packs of Canadian Farm Fresh dog treats – Like Victor, Victoria loves these though she’s not as picky as he was. Canadian Farm Fresh is small company based in
- A Rollover Meaty Beef Rib – This real chew bone is sourced from Canada and one of the few things that keeps Victoria occupied (and quiet) for more than ten minutes.

Happy Birthday to the beautiful Victoria!

And maybe some pressies too! Glad you and your mom made it through the first year of puppyhood! btw, I do believe your mom played a part in you finding Victoria. Moms do that kind of stuff. Sorry for your loss. Glad you found your pup to help you through it. ❤
