Pedigree at the end of this page

Choupette lives in Canada.
She is treated as the baby of the family.
From the time she was a puppy until now, she always loved to play with her companion,
Felix, a Maine Coon cat.

Even if it hard to tell, Choupette is the sister of Cream Puff.
It is much easier to tell that she is the full older sister of Wizard.

Since she is a puppy, Choupette has the funniest habit.
We thought that with time she would loose it,
but not a chance.
We always say that she puts herself to sleep.
When she wants to fall asleep, she picks one of her favorite toys,
which is often Tiger, and she lays down with it.
She then starts to suck on either the nose or the ear
or any extremities of the chosen toy until she falls asleep.
If the toy is too dry for her taste,
she take sips of water, licks the area she intends to suck on
until it is wet enough and then sucks on it and falls asleep.
It is not necessary to add that every time we look to add a toy to her collection,
we always make sure that there is some good sucking extremities
and that it can resist many washes.
She is almost desperate when Tiger goes for a wash and dry;
she desperately waits for its return.

“Human hood is drawn to dogs because they are so like ourselves
– bumbling, affectionate, confused, easily disappointed,
eager to be amused, grateful for kindness and the least attention.”
