My dog is the coolest because...
Why is Cricket the coolest dog? Well, she is the "do it all" dog. From rock climbing, to kayaking with me in Lake Michigan, to flying across the country on business trips, to letting me know when an oncoming medical emergency is imminent - she can handle it all in such stride.

She is friendly with everyone she meets, though she is an athlete on the field in anything that is presented to her. She can sniff out rats, or she can launch herself 7-8' vertically for a frisbee.

She is a dog with no fear, no reservations, and the attitude and tenacity to do it all at any time of day or night. While she is a cool dog, she is also a softie; she will let our chickens walk on her as she sun bathes in the grass or she can jump a 6' fence because we asked her to go get the ball we had accidentally pitched a little too far.

The do it all - all the time dog and I couldn't ask for anything more.
