Katie (Retired)

Southland’s Gone With the Wind – “Katie Scarlett” is my beautiful 60lb., well bred, black female.  Her mother, Appoquinimink Crk Halloween (a.k.a. Trick), is the daughter of NFC-FC Five Star General Patton/Bell’s Double Dutch Brownie, SH.  Katie’s eyes, hips, and elbows have all been cleared by the OFA.  My Katie always likes to know what everyone is up to, and doesn’t like to be left out.  She has a keen sense of hearing, and anytime she hears something is the first to check it out.  Among other activities, she loves to be in the water.  I literally have to pull her away when it’s time to be done.  And, as most labs do, she loves to retrieve.  When I throw her bone, ball, etc. she takes off to get it so fast.  She’s like a bolt of lighting; which is actually kind of funny considering her father’s name was, Enumclaw Strikes From The Sky MMBolt, JH (a.k.a. Bolt).  Katie will also just come right up and get on the couch to lay on your lap.  She loves to be with her family.  She’s my spoiled baby!

Please bear with me as I tell a little to story to explain how spoiled she is.  One day a friend of mine was taking some of her dogs, Katie, and myself to an appt. for the dogs.  I orginally put Katie in the back with the other dogs, but that little arrangement would soon change.  I was in the front passenger seat when I felt something breathing on my neck.  I turned around only to find that Katie had climbed over the back seat and was standing there behind me.  So, I decided to get in the back seat and sit next to her.  A few short minutes later she plopped herself down on my lap and eventually went to sleep.  She just wanted to be with her mommy. 🙂
