Sweets Updates

 Sweets went back to the cardiologist a few weeks ago and got great news. His condition has remained stable and there was no progression. No medication was recommended at this time and will go back in 6 months to see if there is any change at that time.  

In the mean time, we decided he had already found a permanent home here with us!  We also did his DNA test and well, I guess that's what you get from a junkyard!

Passing the Torch

 We went to an AKC scent work trial last weekend and I told Epic it was his turn to carry the torch in our house.  He stepped up quite well.  He didn't hav a perfect weekend, but he was 5/8 and all five of those are really great searches. He finished his novice buried elite which also finished this overall novice elite.  He went on to get a buried advanced leg-first time working water hides in months and did a great job.  Apparently it's easier for him than sand.  He also picked up two advanced container to finish that title and an advanced exterior.  Good job little buddy. 

Until we meet again

Legend 11/25/05/-12/3/20

You know the day will eventually come, but that doesn’t make it any easier. I promised I’d never let her suffer, and today I had to make good on that promise. 

Today we had to free Legend of her earthly struggles. While my heart is more than shattered, I know I will eventually find peace and joy in the lifetime of memories we made together. 

Thanks to Nebraska Border Collie Rescue, Inc. for the dog of a lifetime, foster dad Scott for being able to give her up and all the friends who have loved her along with us. Special thanks to Jerry for all these final months he has spent cooking everything under the sun and hand feeding her, and taking care of her on the days I wasn’t home. It did not go unnoticed and I love you. 

See you on the other side baby girl. I loved you with all my heart and always will. #wewerelegends

I could have missed the pain,

But I’d have had to miss the dance...
