Last night I went to bed before Kirk. Bandit was lying by my feet while I was reading. When Kirk came in to get ready for bed Bandit climbed into his spot. When he went to get in bed Bandit was curled up with his head on Kirk's pillow. We couldn't help but laugh. Bandit just rolled on his back so we would rub his tummy. He and Barclay has lots of fun playing outside this morning. Bandit is now curled up on his dog bed sound asleep.Kim Rascher

hope you had a great time down South, missed the beautiful Thornapple Aussies at the DKC show. Anyway, Buddy is doing very well and on his way to passing CGC. He is quite a character and loves to perform tricks for the class. Enclosed is a picture of him at night on one of his house patrols. He gets up randomly through the night and checks the house, then goes back to bed, better than any alarm system I can think of. I was lucky enough to catch him on this night. Best to all, Marianne & Buddy

More good news from Buddy. He placed first in his obedience class with a perfect score of 35 out of 35 possible points this week. Enclosed is a picture of him and his first medal. We are all very proud of him and know he is well on his way to being a great therapy dog. Marianne & Buddy

Bandit Part 1 - Hi Grandma Thornapple, Every morning after I take Bandit out he proceeds to go into Jonathan's room and steal one of his stuffed animals. He then waits for me to chase him down the hall where he lets me catch him. He then gives me the stuffed animal and I smother him with hugs and kisses. Well, this morning after we came in I went to brush my teeth. |

Bandit Part 2 - I saw him heading down the hall and I called to him to put down the stuffed toy. (in a laughing sort of way) I guess I was too slow because he came back to stand in front of the door and take off again. I was still to slow because he came back another time, walked right into the bathroom, held the toy in front of me and stared at me until I chased him down the hall. He is such a fun boy. Kim (Kirk and Jonathan too)

Best friends...Thornapple Attila My Huney "Tillie" and Thornapple Quintessential Joy "Quinn".
Quinn Part 1 - Quinn is such a joy! The first night he slept for 4 hours, went potty, had a snack, and slept for 3 more hours. He and his sister, Tillie, are doing great together. He will not back down to her-he can hold his own. Thanks so much for the opportunity to have another Thornapple. I took Q to the vet yesterday in Brighton and everyone there was so impressed with him. The vet checked him out and said that he looked very healthy. |

Quinn Part 2 - Quinn's registered name will be Thornapple Quintessential Joy "Quinn". I will be sending you a photo of Tillie and Quinn lounging on the patio together as soon as I can figure out how to do it on this new internet provider I have just gotten.Thanks again, Jill

Britches...blue merle, this is a crazy picture of her, but you can see she is a character. Britches finished her agility novice title in AKC and should hopefully be done with open by end of summer. I took her to herding class last night with a new training and she did great! Her mission this summer is to start grouping and rating her stock. I'm trying to get her ready for the ASCA nationals.Talk with you soon. Helen
