Jenny crashes after 2 days on the lam! Ch Thornapple Singled Out "Jenny" joined her new retirement family in January. Jenny has underground fencing in her yard but the sighting of a cat proved to be too big a temptation for her. She bolted through the fence and was on the run for 2 days. Thanks to a very helpful, dedicated neighbor, Eric, who helped Jane and Alex Gottschalk search for Jenny, she was found 6 miles from home heading on down the road. Everyone is happy to have Jenny home safe and sound!

Jenny's best buddy, Nugent, with Alex Gottschalk

I wanted to say thank you for giving us an opportunity to experience the LOVE and DEVOTION that Angel gave us. I know you hear this everyday from owners of your dogs but it is without a doubt that she was meant to be ours and I have never had a dog that was half human like her. I know the breed is fantastic and every Aussie has their special personalities but Angel was a true dream. The only thing that Terri and I are guilty of is making all our dogs the replacements for real children which we dont have.

We live for our dogs and treat them better than some parents treat their real kids. I guess we just do whatever true dog lovers do, and unless you are a dog person you cannot understand the pain that you go through when you lose them. Its like our child died and that is a common saying among animal lovers.

Right now Ellen, time has to go bye and although we will never forget or get over Angel , time makes all things a little better to accept...We absolutely love Aussies. Terri and I thank you for Angel and as her picture says ' she now is truely "FREE".. our sweet Angel. Best Regards, Rick and Terri Castrianni

 

Agility puppy! Cloud at 5 months!!!

I have been a negligent mommy and not taken pictures of my youngest "weather child" lately and he just passed his 6 month birthday so thought I had better get to it. I know a few of you had asked.

I think it has not helped that Cloud has been a winter puppy also. It seems it is more pleasant in the summer to take pictures. Big Surprise LOL. Betsy
