This is the page dedicated to all things Tiva - otherwise known as the 'sofa loafer' ! In Tiva's world life revolves around 3 things..... SLEEP - WALK - EAT !! There are no in betweens here, those 3 things just go ! Preferably, the eating and sleeping (taking up all of the sofa is compulsory here) should take precedence. Walks are good too, but it's all a bit of an effort really, but once you get going, well it's not so bad. The cold hosedown after a particularly muddy walk - well that just takes the biscuit, and i'm not talking Bonio's here.Bunny munching sometimes can bring to life two of her favourite activities in one lucky swoop. Now I know they say don't run on a full stomach, but well a gals gotta get whatever extra nourishment is on offer, even if it is a bit manky and the fur sticks in your throat !

Tiva is the sweetest natured of Spinone, she loves to make herself heard especially when it's time for food (don't you dare go over the due time or all hell will let loose!) or walks, and boy oh boy if there's no room on the sofa she has concocted a cunning plan...she convinces the other dogs there's someone at the door with a craft bark, then as they get up to greet the invisible guests, quietly slips into a nicely warmed seat. Result !

Tiva was born on 3rd of May 2002, with another 9 littermates to keep her company, one of which was our beloved Ollie.

We rescued Tiva just after she was a year old after her breeder found out she was being mistreated.We went to see her (just to look you understand!) and of course she came back the same day with us...the rest, as they say, is history !
