Canon wishes Caprice a happy birthday

Today is Caprice's sixth birthday, and I'm very glad to have her here and well after a couple of frightening brushes of her Addison's disease, skin and digestive problems.  She is my beautiful girl- a little skittish, not much of a player, and sometimes aloof, but mine.

I remember when I flew to Las Vegas to pick her up.  I cried when I saw her.  I had been missing a poodle so much since my Persi had to leave, and I was ready for a puppy to love. I remember her toe nails painted pink, and how small she was. 

Caprice grew up to be a beautiful girl.  We called her my Las Vegas showgirl.  She was also my wild girl, leaping over the couch, all over the place.

A couple months with Caprice's energy, and we decided she needed someone besides us to play with, a brother poodle, Rondo.  That's another story, but part of her story as well.

I'm saving the Addison's disease story for another day, so I can get this published...and have something else to write about...
