Our Sundance turns 14 today (April 24th)!!
We picked up Sundance when he was 8 weeks old… big paws, lots of extra skin, and just the cutest puppy!!
At 9 weeks old, with his big sis Billi, ready for a quad ride …
At 11 weeks old … What a cutie!!!
His first Christmas at 8 months old and he was close to full-size! He is a snuggler for sure, and loves his snuggles from his big sisters!
Brooke & Billi
Brian took Sundance and Maggy to work with him for several years. Sundance looks sorta comfortable in Brian’s hardhat!! 😂
Sundance loved to fetch sticks when he was younger, and even shared one with Cousin Katie!! 😄
Out fishing on Ram River, near Ram Falls …

Standing in the clover! …
Hanging out with the new Harley!!
Sundance loved to dig in the gopher holes!!
And he loves to roll in the snow… and sometimes the mud too! 🤣
Fishing out west ….
Chillaxin’ in the front yard …
Hanging out on the front deck …
In June 2014 we got a baby crow from a nest. By mid-June, Cuervo was learning to fly … and he sat with Sundance for awhile! …
Snuggling with Pete!
And then there were three!! Aengus joined us in September 2016. Aengus immediately snuggled with Sundance whenever he could! …
And Miss Nala joined in! ..
On January 3, 2017, the light outside wasn’t all that great for photos, so I played around with some of the lighting settings on the computer photo editor …
And I tried some different editing on these next two, too! …
And then there were four! Katie started spending Summers at “Camp Redtail Rise” in 2013, then it was “Redtail Rise Retirement Home” full-time in 2018. Katie’s mom makes these doggie bandanas, so they all showed them off!!
Enjoying the snow …
Snuggling some more! …
And my favorite photo I’ve taken of Sundance! …
Sundance has been the most amazing dog!! He’s been very laid back, chill, and eager to please! And, while Maggy is a “daddy’s girl”, Sundance is definitely a “momma’s boy”; but he’ll take love and pets and snuggles from everyone and love them right back!! He’s gotten quite grey around the eyes, and as with Maggy, he’s slowed down, but he seems to be very healthy! Every day with him is a blessing!!
