Update !!

It's been a busy two months here, back in August I found out I had breast cancer so I spent most of August in and out of doctors offices. Back on September 22nd I went in and had a lumpectomy and I'm happy to report they got all the cancer, still have to have radiation treatment for 5-1/2 weeks that starts next week. But now I busy trying to get ready to leave tomorrow for Boise Idaho and four days of showing. I will be showing Gabby in breed and I can't wait, I'm just so happy I can show my dog. I'm taking the camera with me so I will get photos.

Another shot of Gabby


I think this is a beautiful shot of Cody

One more of the Gabby

I wish the camera would of captured Gabby's beautiful red coat, her coat color is a dark red and she will look stunning when it all grows out. I can't wait to see her with her adult coat. I'm a softy for the red sables.

Facebook

We are now on facebook, took me long enough one of my cruising friends got me hooked on it.

Twin Creeks Gone With Z Wind "Ashley"

Decided to share pictures of our girl "Ashley" Twin Creeks Gone With Z Wind she is a daddy's girl and loves my husband, Ashley will turn 6 years old in August. These photos were taken in October 2007 while we were at the Boise shows.

Ashley is retired from the show ring, she developed a bunny hop in the rear. When she was a puppy she jumped down from the back of our couch over a railing and landed by the front door it was about a 6 foot drop, we took her in to the vets nothing was broken but she decided that when she runs she has to do a bunny hop as she was recovering and didn't want to put any weight on her rear. She has been x-rayed many times but as she has gotten older the hop is more visible. So now she just is my husband companion when I'm at work she has to supervise whatever he does at home and he loves it.

Cody and the bumble bee toy

Cody's favorite toy on the trip was a bumble bee

Oh look it's my bee!!

Think I check out my bee!!

Pose for a photo, moms got the camera out again!!

Okay it's time to attack the bee!!!

The litter also had a sister, but the breeder lost her back in February the boys are out of Ch Royl Marchwind Flash Gordon, CD x Tararose Sonata.

Final Day at the Idaho Shows

We just arrived back from Idaho about 1 hour ago had a fabulous time showing my boy Cody, today we started our quest for his RAE title today we showed in Excellent B and placed 2nd with a score of 93 then on to Advanced B where he placed 1st with a score of 97 this was his 6th straight day of competing and I'm very proud of my boy.

After we got through showing we had a bit of early lunch then found Shannalee of Akadia Shelties Cody's breeder and said our goodbyes, while we were up there this past week Shannalee measured our girl and she is 13-1/2" and right in the middle of the safe zone and she lost both of her top caines which I'm so happy about as the new ones were starting to come in. We hope to show Gabby at the Boise shows in the 9 - 12 month old puppy class may be for a couple of days and show Cody the other two days either for his CDX or working on the RAE haven't decided yet. Our next shows will be in September for Cody hopefully going for his CDX title.

Almost done

Today the dog gods were with us again, and we had great weather, Cody had a great time in the ring we finished our Rally Excellent Title with a 98 and 1st place finish. Weather I hear is to be horrible tomorrow most likely will not show and head home, hubby wanted to leave this afternoon but I do all the driving and I'm tired. Hopefully we will be able to show, hate to waste entry fees.

Photos from Thursday June 11th Rally Trial

Idaho Shows Day 5 4th place finish

Well the dog show gods are with us again, no rain, it didn't start to rain until around 3:00 pm shelties were all done showing and we were done. Cody qualifed again in Rally Excellent with a score of 90 (I did a 10 point handler error, bad handler) and 4th place finish. With luck we should finish the Rally Excellent title tomorrow, but the weatherman is forcasting rain all weekend.

Idaho Shows Day 4 2nd place finish

Today we started the quest for Cody's Rally Excellent title and I'm happy to say he got his first leg towards that title with a score of 98 and a 2nd place finish. My boy is working so well even in crappy weather but at least it did decided not to rain when he was in the ring.

Idaho Shows Day 3 Another 1st Place New Title

Cody

Cody finishes title with another 1st place finish and a score of 195-1/2

We had another wonderful day of showing Cody finished his CD title (Companion Dog) with 3 first place finishes and scores of 189, 192-1/2 and 195-1/2 I'm so proud of my boy. We left Filer around 2:45 and did the 2 hour drive to Blackfoot Idaho after checking in at the hotel we headed to the show site than the rain came and it rained and rained. Hopefully it will not be raining tomorrow morning when we show in Rally Obedience, Cody will now be going for his Rally Excellent title.

Have pictures of my boy Tyson with his littermate Buddy, I will post those tomorrow.
