Livvy's arrival was indeed a special delivery - she came by c-section. Gretel probably had a full litter, and the pups died (before birth) one by one, possibly due to a virus going around at the time she was pregnant. How Livvy survived when nobody else did, we really don't know, but she was certainly a special little girl!

Although she finished easily, Livvy's special talent was in the obedience ring. With Sharon, she was a willing and accurate worker, earning her degrees relatively easily and earning consistently high scores along the way.
