Top Dog of the Month

Top Dog Happy Birthday!This is our Exchange Daughter, Katharina from Germany, along with Schnitzel our Mini Weenie Stud Dog.  It is Kata’s birthday this month and Schnitzel and the rest of Chile Acres wants to send her a big hug from across the ocean (well Schnitzel wanted to send a doggie treat actually) for her this special day.  We love her and are proud of all she is doing with her life in Berlin.  Her puppy, Lucky, is a son of Scnitzel and lives a life of luxury in her Berlin apartment.  Dogs get to go almost anywhere there and Kata takes Lucky out daily for adventures.

Happy Birthday Kata and we are sending you a special package full of spiders–you will understand when you see it–for your birthday, and of course chocolate!
