[Home][Eden][Paris][Laz][mango][Houdini]

We lost Houdini to complications after a c-section in spring of 2008. She is missed terribly, but we are proud to have Laz, and co-own Rio and Maddie who are all Houdini's daughters. Lazarus lives here with us, and she is a constant clown. She reminds us so much of her Mom, and also lets us know that miracles are real. Houdini will always be in our hearts, and the Kayas bloodlines. When we think of Houdini we will smile. She was a force!!!!!

Houdini is a very strange dog and in all my years of being around animals I have never seen another like her. The first thing that anyone has to know about Houdini is she is a genius, and a free thinker. When she was a small pup she would always find some way to get out of the yard or house and come looking for me...or trouble!
I did not name Houdini, she was named by my husband John who spent loads of time and money on trying to Houdini proof the yard. John is also a genius, so it was fun to sit back and watch the two of them try to outwit each other.
Houdini has a Napoleon complex, and although she is the smallest here at our house, she is also the boss Alpha dog. She is extremely athletic and can jump up and kiss you on the face, jump over the other dogs, and clear 4 foot fences. I would have her in agility except for the fact that she does not mind at all. When I ask her some thing simple, like "come here" she will look around behind her and back at me as if to say "Are you talking to me? What do you think I am, a dog or something?"
Houdini is the only dog that I have ever owned that is not trained, not because she is not trainable...but because she is too funny just the way she is.....a total brat!
We refer to Houdini as "the Deenster" a ridiculous word, but one that strangely fits her and all of her antics and quirks. She chortles like a choking chicken when she sees another dog, she passes gas and barks at her own butt, and she buries bones in every piece of furniture in our house. Yep, she's weird...but she is our Deenster, and we wouldn't change a thing!
