She was a Princess, and came by her nick name Diva quite honestly. She is of banchory bolo bloodlines, and as such has &#8220;bolo pads&#8221; on the backs of her feet. Chassis has a regal appearance, and a regal attitude!<\/span><\/span><\/p><p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"color_15 wixui-rich-text__text\">Diva joined our family when she was 4. Her name was Nestle at the time. I borrowed her from another breeder to raise Caliper&#8217;s 2 week old pups when Cali had passed. She raised those pups as her own, but also healed my heart. She was a true kennel dog, but naturally I fell in love with her &amp; had to keep her. I&#8217;m so grateful the other breeder agreed to sell her to me&#8230;.and from then on she lived a life of luxury with us, and I got to have 10 amazing years with her! \u2661<\/span><\/span><\/p><p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"color_15 wixui-rich-text__text\">She was always lazy, likely why she still had decent mobility in her later years. She didn&#8217;t like the outdoors, unless we were headed to the pond. She loved our pond, but loved our neighbours pond more&#8230;and would often go on self guided tours to swim there&#8230;.I guess they have better water\u00bf?<\/span><\/span><\/p><p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"color_15 wixui-rich-text__text\">Diva didn&#8217;t play very much, but her zoomies were the best! She could tuck her back feet so far up that you&#8217;d think she was walking on air! Just the other day she was prancing through the field and I thought she would be with us for a lot longer.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"color_15 wixui-rich-text__text\">Diva loved everyone, but most specifically babies. If you had a baby, there was no way that baby was going without a Diva kiss! She had the most kind soul, and a regal presence. You&#8217;d often feel like she was judging you by her &#8220;snobby nose&#8221;.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"color_15 wixui-rich-text__text\">Over the years, Diva surprised me more and more with her activity level&#8230;.and I thought she might just live forever. That was wishful thinking. She had surgery in the fall of 2023 to remove some MCTs, but I think she did have cancer throughout her body, and today her body suddenly decided it had had enough. Her passing tonight came as a surprise, but I know her old body was hanging on as long as it could, and now her memory is with my pack and I. I was crying the day I got her, and I cry today because her body has left us.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58ba784 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"58ba784\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83975b3 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"83975b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf1f40b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cf1f40b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a41670c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a41670c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6c2813 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f6c2813\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Caliper<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d96f731 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d96f731\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/labmom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Caliper.webp?fit=800%2C488&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-310\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/labmom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Caliper.webp?w=949&amp;ssl=1 949w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/labmom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Caliper.webp?resize=300%2C183&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/labmom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Caliper.webp?resize=768%2C469&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/labmom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Caliper.webp?resize=600%2C366&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de95d7e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"de95d7e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0234ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d0234ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Caliper left her paw prints on my heart and left us with many memories on Sept. 3, 2013. RIP baby girl &lt;3 She is forever in our thoughts and hearts. Below is a slideshow of her, her memorial items, and my tattoo of her pawprint. She is dearly missed, and never forgotten.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Caliper was a very happy girl; loving to everyone &amp; the biggest cuddle bug you could ever imagine. She was a large English Labrador female (her father was a &#8220;King Lab&#8221;). Caliper carried the yellow Dudley gene, and had 2 large healthy litters in her time with our family.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Caliper was tragically hit by a car while I was on vacation in September 2013. I miss her dearly, and we think about her every day &#8211; she truly is our Angel. I have a tattoo of her (rather large!) paw print on my side, so she is always with me. Her memory lives on in my heart, and of course with the 21 pups that she parented. I was very proud of each of those pups &lt;3<\/span><\/p><p class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Cali had 2 week old pups at the time she passed, and the pups were in good hands and paws despite this great loss in our family. We &#8216;borrowed&#8217; a &#8220;Foster&#8221; mom for the puppies, and she quickly took to them as her own. Chassis has helped us in a time of need, and is quickly helped to heal my heart. She joined our family after just 3 days of helping us out, because I truly did fall in love with her. No one will replace Caliper&#8230;.however Chassis made the loss a little more bearable. &lt;3<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memorials This is a page dedicated to those loving dogs that made our lives whole.
