Peyton
Like I mentioned with Miya, we decided to expand the pack in 2010, and found Miya and her
sister Peyton. They both came to us
around Christmas of 2010. While Miya has
the ice blue eyes, Peyton had deep brown eyes.
It was quite a noticeable contrast from the start. The other big difference was the
personality. Miya seemed more playful,
and Peyton seemed more relaxed. As a
puppy, she was more content on your lap than anywhere else. As she grew older, she opened up and played
well with the others, but still seemed to be more mellow than the rest. She was not “standoffish” like Demon, but
rather simply more relaxed than most.
In a very unfortunate incident last
year, two days before Christmas, Peyton and three others were able to open
their stall door when it was not properly latched. They were all out running and we were totally
unaware. We received a knock on the door
from a gentleman informing us that he had hit Peyton with his truck. We ran out and were able to corral the other
three (Holly, Demon, and Aleu), but discovered that Peyton had died from her
injuries. It was a monumental blow to
us! We are grateful to the man for
informing us, because we were able to then save the other three. He felt very bad, but we know there was
nothing he could do. It was dark and
they darted out in front of him on a busy road.
Luckily, only one was struck.
Like Brutus, Daisie, & Sheba, Peyton will
always live on in our memory. She was
the mother of only one litter of puppies. (With Denali, including Indy, Isis,
Nanook, Kobe, Kaia, and Aspen) She is
greatly missed.
