My husband, 
          Bruce, and I adopted Heidi from you when she was 8 months old! She 
          will now be turning 8 years old in February of 2018!!!! We cannot 
          believe it. She has been such an amazing and huge part of our family 
          and has a GIANT personality. This photo is of her wanting to play ball 
          early in the morning just a couple months ago. She dropped it in my 
          coffee cup to make sure I threw it. Even as she gets older, the puppy 
          in her always comes out. We lived in Ottawa when we adopted her and 
          moved back to our hometown in St. Catharines shortly after. We could 
          not imagine our life without her and she has sure kept us on our toes 
          since the first day we brought her home. She was about 40 lbs when we 
          adopted her and is now 80 lbs. She doesn't miss a meal and she makes 
          sure to tell you when it is time for breakfast or dinner. She loves 
          being active and hiking and swimming! She also thinks all 80 lbs of 
          her is a lap dog! Both of our parents (Heidi's grandparents) love 
          having her go for visits while we are at work so that she can run and 
          play for the day with them.
          I hope you 
          remember her! We kept her name the same as you named her as it just 
          suits her! Her full name is Heidi Grace McIntosh! Yes, we are those 
          people that middle name their dogs haha.
