Couldn’t be happier….
I took Cocoa for her OFA hip and elbow prelim X rays today, and the vet said that her hips looked EXCELLENT!!! They will be sent off to OFA to see what their radiologist’s official word is. She had her first OFA Thyroid Panel drawn today as well. Cocoa spent most of the day sleeping off the sedative, poor girlie! These were the final tests she needed to complete all of her health clearances, so far every thing has been very good, I couldn’t be happier!

What a beautiful ad!
To celebrate Sundae’s recent success, Terese had this lovely ad put together and it has been running on The Sheltie Strut. The Sheltie Strut is the Canadian equivalent of our Shelties on Line.

Happy Birthday Stormy!!!!!!!!!!!
Stormy is not the first sheltie to “own” our family, but, he is the first that I worked with in the performance rings. Stormy’s intelligence, enthusiasm and desire to please hooked me from the start, and, as they say, the rest is history. Still wild and crazy at 11 years young, and always my heart dog…..Happy Birthday buddy…….
Then and now…..
Cocoa is maturing into quite a lovely young lady….OK, maybe “lady” is a stretch<ggg>, but, she is becoming quite lovely. Below are pictures of her at 6wks old, and an impromptu picture that I took with my I Phone today…about a year later…..

Memorial Day Weekend 2011……
I thought it would be a good idea to take this photo after the dogs had a romp in the yard, thinking that if they ran a bit and blew off some steam they would all be able to sit still long enough for me to do this photo by myself. Well, it was a bit more of a challenge than I thought it would be, and the run also resulted in tongues hanging out on this hot afternoon….. oh well!
This is our Memorial Day 2011 Family Photo: (left to right) Bitti 6yrs old, Sarah 10yrs old, Stormy 11yrs old, Robbie 7yrs old, Jetta 4 yrs old. In front is our ”"beastie girl” Cocoa 1yr old.
