Sachi - a happy ending!

These are photos of Sachi, she and her pal Bear (he's at the bottom)were rescued from a horrible situation in CT. Although they came in together it was not possible to rehome them together. Bear is happily living in Philly and Sachi is living in Mass. with a loving family that is willing to give her all the time she needs to adjust to living without Bear and find her way in her new surroundings!

These are the kind of people that everyone in rescue prays for!

SMOOOOCH!

MAJOR!!!!!!!!!!

I never thought it would happen but Jazzy did it...he got his first major AND it was a 4 point major!!!! SO now Jazz has 7 of the 15 points he needs to be a Champion and one of the two majors...Wow a year ago I thought that he would not get this far...now look!!!!


That lovely lady is Kim Holmes - she handled jazz for me at our Club's Annual Specialty Show - what a show for him to shine...

The first day was an evening show and I'm afraid we kept Jazz up past his bed time. Boy was he a grouch!!! This being his first show in a year plus I thought - well, okay he just does not like it, we are done...Everyone told me I should give it another day, since I had paid for three days. Mike just plain wanted to pull him but I figured I would at least finish out the weekend...I felt so bad for Kim, he was SUCH a brat! Reserve winner's dog was the best he could do.

Day two - as usual - he was different dog! Much better behaved, sprightly, happy to be there and very flashy! Jazz took Winner's Dog over 2 other very nice dogs, and THEN - - BEST OF OPPOSITE! Holy cow he actually beat two of my favorite dogs on the planet. Mellow and Zac - both veterans , but still very fine dogs! I nearly fainted, and I cried like an idiot!!! Everyone was sooo happy for me! I was really humbled by all the hugs and congrats we got.

Day three was a bust but who cares - he had already gotten a MAJOR and was a very good boy that day too...He was actually having FUN...which was even better than the win...Okay almost better than the win...

RALLY GIRL!!!!

Yes Katsy earned her Rally Novice Title Today - She has worked so hard and has been such a good girl she deserves a million titles!



Kat got her first "leg" (out of three required for a title) back in September, with a very respectable score of 86! We had entered her for three days just in case something went wrong...And it did ME!!! Yup the first day she would have had a 98 if I had not walked right past 2 signs - missed them completely which got her disqualified...I felt like such a heel (pun intended)! So we tried again the next day and wow she got a 96 and third place...Not bad for my little fear girl!

So that was 2 legs completed - the third and final day was sooo long and she was soooo tired - she just not used to being away from home all day and sitting on a cement floor. That said, she earned an 83! Hurray!!! She qualified and earned that third leg - HER TITLE!!!

Kat will now have an RN after name to go with her CGC and TD...wow who would thunk it!

Please Help find these Dogs!

****UPDATE****
All the dogs have been found and returned to Kristina! Hurray for miracles!

Book Buddies!

This is Kat at one of her many visits to the Princeton Public Library - She is participating in their "Book Buddies" Program where kids get to spend a half hour reading to a dog.

Kat has been such a big hit there that not only the kids love her but most adults can't resist the chance to pat such beautiful gentle dog...And of course just about everyone asks the same question - "how much does she weigh?"

Kat has been such a good girl with this new experience - I am so proud of her!

We never get out on time because so many people want to stop and pat her!

This is Gabriel, one of Kat's may buddies - she has a waiting list of kids that want to spend time with her.

There's a butterfly in that little cloth cage - Kat was fascinated with it.
