Spice was Purple girl of the litter and the pup that caused the hold up and a trip to the vet in the middle of whelping. Not that she was stuck or anything, she just happened to be the next pup born after a lull. Spice is owned by Lee Thomson, and lives in Melbourne with Lee and her three daughters Tarli, Shenai and Nikia, along with her daddy Hamish of course, Nayeli the Cairn Terrier and Seastar the cat. Right from the start it seemed like Spice was just meant to be Lee's, although it was a long and torturous journey before Lee finally decided to take her. Contrary to expectations, Spice has totally hit it off with Nayeli but Hamish's nose is still somewhat out of joint about the addition. Lee is hopeful, as am I, that Spice will become her foundation bitch. But for the moment Spice has entrenched herself in the family and is providing lots of entertainment and Lee says she just can't imagine life without her now. Spice won her first baby puppy class against her sisters at the same show that Daddy Hamish finished off his title....maybe an omen???
