Happy Tails
“We adopted Aspyn (formerly Mitzy) at the end of February. Aspyn is not your typical Husky, she is EXTREMELY LAZY, super low energy and would probably be kicked off a sled team for her lack of performance. She just enjoys sleeping on her memory foam bed or laying on the back porch in the cool mountains outside of Prescott. She is settling in nicely now to our environment, spending time with me and adjusting to having a little dog brother. She loves walks, her food, vitamins, fruits, veggies and homemade dog treats. She loves and protects the grand baby too. She likes to lay on Mom and Dad's bed and snuggle in the morning, but most of all, she loves having a quiet home with a family that loves her and spoils her. Aspyn has definitely grown on us, and we can’t imagine life without her now.”
-Belinda & Brad Keller
