We got Atti when she was 8 weeks old for our children, she has been camping, fishing, and been the family pet for the past 5 years. Recently our daughter Nicole moved away to college and was missing the family badly. we all agreed that since she took care of Atti the most, we would give her to Nicole for her 21st birthday the first week of September. We have since missed having Atti in our daily lives with all the fun and joys she brought to us, but it has also helped Nicole not to be so homesick. we know when Nicole is finsished with college she will be back with Atti. Nicole has been sending us photos and updates several times a week, which helps us to not miss her so much. She has truely been the families best friend.
