Highlights

Ash getting his Canine Good Neighbor Title this year

Tarn with his High Score Rosettes

I hate how far behind I am on here! No one reads blogs anymore anyway. It's now mostly just for me. Way too much has happened to even remember now so I'll just post some highlights. 

Recently I entered Tarn in his first Rally Trials. He passed all 5 trials with some great scores and some low scores. The low scores were totally handler errors and that really pisses me off, something that I caused by dumb errors. His highest score was 97! He got 3 Highest Score in Class, earned his Rally Novice Title and 2 legs towards his Intermediate Title. The Rally Novice Title also earned him his Versatility Novice Title with the CKC and his Versatility Dog Title with the Flatcoat Club of Canada!! We are now on a break , at least until I am better off financially. 

Tarn also earned his Grand Championship in August going  Best of Breed at the Westwinds Sporting Dog Specialty in Okotoks. 

Ash is still kicking and barking just as much as  before! I have never owned a Collie that has barked as much as him! He has alot of arthritis, his body is way older then his actual age. He will be 10 on January 5, 2025. I've been taking him to Rehab where he gets laser therapy, acupuncture and deep  massage. He still needs his medicam however to help with the pain. Not that it stops him from running around like a fool with Tarn!

We are still in love with this house in Lomond and I love puttering around in the back yard or in my plant garden. 

That's' about it for now, hopefully I'll come back sooner then a year and a half to update!
