Bathing Bouvier

Greetings Animatch Family,

I wanted to provide an update on Kismet, whom I adopted from Animatch last Christmas. Please know our girl continues to do great. She is enjoying her summer here in Toronto very much and is patiently laying next to me as I write this. I love my constant companion. Words cannot describe the bond I have with this beauty!

Kismet has travelled with me on two road trips recently to North Bay, Ontario and west to Goderich, Ontario to visit friends and family. Both trips were about 3 hours travel time each way and Kismet is very calm in the car and such a great house guest. Even my very fastidious Mother was impressed with Kismet.

Like all Bouviers, Kismet L-O-V-E-S water and I indulge my girl as much as I can. Kismet had the opportunity to swim in Lake Talon and Lake Huron while we were away and I have provided links to some clips on You Tube of Kismet enjoying bathing in the fresh water lakes we are blessed with in Canada.

Have a great summer!
Patrick Madden.

    Wonderful videos, and truly the life that Kismet deserves. Many of us have followed Kismet’s progress from the first day she appeared on the Animatch website.  It was truly worth the long wait, for Kismet is definitely with the perfect family. Looking forward to future updates…

    Hi Patrick:  I really enjoyed the clips on YouTube…. I visit Animatch’s site daily and remember Kismet very well.  I was praying that THE PERFECT family would come for her.  Both of you needed each other it is so very clear to see.  I too adopted via Animatch… I am not computer guru but will try to send a clip of our little one.  We are leaving in a week for Bagotville where my son is posted… Keep sharing with us the bond you two have….. I for one enjoy it big time.
