Roc has become my buddy! Since Roc's retirement he's home all the time now. And since I decided that there's no point in torturing either Ceilidh or myself with class - new people, new dogs, new stuff to do - I'm home most of the time...
Dax (and I) earned her very first Agility title this weekend at the WAG Trial in Spring Grove! Thank you to judge Kathy Humphreys - we had a ball!We qualified in Novice A Standard.Dax's registered name is now: Gargoyles What A Trill, NA
Did you ever get the feeling that something is going to happen soon? Don't know what... Don't know when... I have that feeling...

Our friend Emily brought her adorable Keeshonds, Lydia and Whyit, to work (OK, maybe play) in our ring today. Too much fun! Lydia loves to bark while she works and little Whyit is just plain cute! We love it when our dogs have fun, and Emily's dogs definitely have fun! - Fran
Our dogs have started huddling in a pile next to the heating vent. The vet tells us that it's not good for their fur - it dries them out. But they're so cute! Roc's using Dax as a pillow more now - he's finally figured out that she's useful for something!
Thanks to the Poodle and Dog Blog where we found this video.var addthis_pub = 'gollygear';
OK, not to belabor the fact, but it's been raining almost the entire month of October. We're all wondering if we should start building an Ark. Ceilidh is even starting to get used to it, and will go out without too much prodding when it's time...
Fran spotted this gorgeous creature sitting on the phone wires in back of the house as she left for work. She came back to let me know about him/her and I grabbed the camera. The day is obviously overcast and gloomy - but spotting this beautiful bird cheered us up...
So after the beautiful pictures Hope took the other day, we've had lots and lots of rain. No rainbows. It's interesting how the dogs view rainy days differently. Ceilidh hates the rain. Just hates it. She'll go two feet outside the door, squat and run inside - but ONLY if she's desperate...
We don't have the greatest view from our front door at the shop - we look at a school bus parking lot. But it was still pretty spectacular this morning - an entire rainbow (the middle didn't come out in the pictures). Too bad I don't have time to look for that pot of gold this morning.
Thank you, everyone, for your support. I still miss Golly like crazy, and probably will for a good, long time. But now I can think about the fun times and not tear up quite as much...
Golly Gear Thank you, everyone for your kind wishes. I still miss Golly and will for quite some time. I won't say it's easier, but it's comforting to know that so many people out there understand. I do think about the fun times, the funny things, and Golly's quirks, and I can start to smile more without as many tears.
Last night at Obedience Class I realized how intertwined my work life and "real" life have become. I know I'm lucky - we have our own business, have structured our lives to be comfortable and happy, and pretty much avoid most of the unpleasantries of life...
