About Izzy
Izzy was born an adventure-seeking dog. Her favorite activities were swimming in Geneva Lake and hiking the mountains in Colorado. She loved to explore and travel, including riding on airplanes!
When Izzy wasn't experiencing the outdoors, she was keeping watch over her two-legged human sisters and two canine siblings. Where you'd mostly find her (at least in the summer), was jumping off her lake pier over and over again saying hi to all who passed by. She loved making friends with everyone she met, young or old. Passing away at the old age of 15, Izzy lived a full life. While we miss her beyond words, Alicia continues to honor her legacy through the Lake Dog Adventure Series books and sharing Izzy's love for the lake and adventures.
