Neige was chosen before she was even born.  Her breeder picked her out for us and made no mistakes.  Neige was our girl.  I longed for her for years and finally she was here!  I drove 8 hours to pick her up and it was love at first site.  Neige settled in to our family immediately and became the Baby.  6 months later we moved to a larger home with a larger yard.  Neige loved the outdoors, and love to run with her partner, Nigel.  In December, 2003, our baby, Neige became a mother to 11 gorgeous puppies.  Neige loved to play with her babies, with Nigel, with her friends, Cuba & Sierra and with us, her people.  She always had what looked like a smile on her face.  Every morning Neige would play, "Through the tunnel" where she would walk through my legs to get her bum scratched, then back again to get her head and ears scratched.  Another favorite game Neige and I played was the blada-lada-loop game.  I'd sneak up behind her and squeal, "blada-lada-loop" as I lightly pinched her bum and she'd tuck her tail between her legs, squeeze her bum in, hop and then do a jump and twist in the air.  She would then jump up on me and give me a "hug" then I'd ask for a kiss and she'd kiss me.  On May 21, 2004 Neige collided with a trailer being pulled by a truck.  She was able to walk right afterward so we were hopeful.  She was rushed to the clinic where she spent3 nights and 2 days.  Unfortunately on May 24th, our wedding anniversary, our dear Neige passed away.  Neige was not even 2 years old.  We miss her painfully
