Melody
Melody has been the life of the party from the moment she was born. She has consistently been highly opinionated, keen, and free spirited. During the first few weeks after she was born, I consistently said the words “I’ll be right there Otter!” because if a puppy was complaining 9/10 times it was her (Otter was her litter name). She has always been game for absolutely everything, and was so often the first puppy to explore new things. We often found her just slamming on the different wobble boards because, as we assume Melody would say, “why not make a little noise?”
She is one of the biggest “explorers” in the litter, and loves seeing every single inch of land she can smell and run around on. She also was one of the puppies that said hold my beer and consistently jumped off the ramp at dock to get to me. For all of her drive, she’s also the absolute sweetest bean and loves cuddling so much. She has been incredibly appropriate with people, children, and dogs of all different sizes.
It was obvious to us from the get go that we had the perfect home lined up for her, and that perfect home happened to have another Rising Tide pup, a half sister to Melody, at home. Melody is now lovingly owned by Stephanie De Mello in Oregon, and lives with her half-sister Sabrina. It makes me so emotional that someone wanted two pieces of my best girl Arya, and I could not be happier for Steph that Melody was matched to her. We’re also thrilled that Melody is a co-own! Melody will primarily be Steph’s new agility prospect, but will be doing all of the sport things in addition to a lot of hiking and exploring! Although we were so sad to see Otter go, especially since we won’t see her often given she’s on the west coast, we know she has the absolute best home with Steph, and are so excited to see her grow up
