A HUGE thank you to our sponsors!

  • Thank you to Abbie Tamber for her kind and generous donation, we were surprised by some additional fees bringing the dogs home, so this helps tremendously!
  • Nan Keder and the late Bill Gignac for their tremendously generous sponsorship check - I am moved to tears by the generousity of my friends near and far. In Bill's memory, I will be sure to "Go have fun with my dogs" - this was always his and Nan's advice before any competition and it will surely help me keep everything in perspective. Again THANK YOU!!!

Pat is all set!

Results of Rabies titer received - Pat is good to go!

Now if ONLY spring would come so we could get working! Today I put the yearlings out and they simply stepped over the fence - that's how high our snow STILL is! I saw a robin today - poor thing looked miserable and cold, shivering in a bare branch being blown about in the strong north wind. Bet it wishes it stayed in Florida.

At least my dogs will be fit when spring arrives! We have been enjoying long snowshoe hikes through the woods all winter. But honestly, it is nearly April and it can go away now! PLEASE!

Spring Training

Uh, NOT!

Welcome Spring? Notice I am in my snowshoes....
Spring came in with a bang and a blizzard, dumping another foot or close to it and blowing it around in a tornado. Pat was all excited when she saw me take my crook out of the closet, but really didn't believe me that the sheep were anywhere in that snowy field. Smart girl.

Sponsor Update

A HUGE thank you to Creekside Cait for her truly generous support (and to David who wrote the check!) We hope mom and sister will make you proud!

Sasha's Blend Canada will be helping Pat stay in top shape by keeping her in a supply of Sasha's Blend..The only joint supplement that has worked after trying all the rest!



No success with Tilley. They said they only "give" to charitable organizations. Bah Humbug. See if I buy another hat this year!

DogSport magazine will also be pulling through with something I am told...Not sure what yet. I am going to write an article of my experience next fall. Hey, it sure as heck pays more than CleanRun!
