Happy Birthday Moonsong Mouse

BrownStone Foster Pup Ms Silver
The BrownStone Cascade Peaks litter was 7 days old when I got the call: "could you add one more to the whelping box?"  Moonsong Kilia had only one surviving pup and Kilia herself was ill.
Three day old, 13oz, Ms Silver was rushed here from Seattle. 
 Koyuk immediately took to the little silver girl.
Metallic silver rick-rack to match her silver coat; an antelope to use as her photo milestone cascade animal; a spare nipple at Koyuks milkbar; Dowager McKenzie, Grandmom Cedar and mom Koyuk to learn from; and best of all, 7 brothers and sisters to grow and play with - we had a perfect home for our foster BrownStone Cascade Peak pup. .
As it turned out, Ms Silver didn't need a milestone animal, she had a photo milestone girl. Every time Anna came over she immediately grabbed Ms Silver as her own.
Cedar too was enamored with Ms Silver. Actually, everyone who saw her fell in love with the little blue eyed, silver coated girl.

Ms Silver at 7 weeks and ready to go back to her mother...
after another game Chinook tag. Her role in the game was to hide under the dogwalk board and leap out to tag then chase unsuspecting passer-byes.
Home-Sweet-Home reunion with mother Kilia and her new name: Moonsong Mouse. .
At three months, her ears set up in good mouse fashion.
Carie wrote about Mouse's first year: "Mouse is an exuberant, happy girl and is great with other dogs...which I credit to her 7 weeks with the Brownstone litter.  She recently drove across country with me and loved it.  She is a great companion and a great ambassador for the breed".
 Happy Birthday Moonsong Mouse. I can't wait to see you again next weekend.
