Once I posted that I lost Gertie, I pretty much stayed away from this blog.  A lot has changed since then.

Kenzie who was battling IMHA when we lost Gertie, recovered and is about to celebrate her 10th birthday. Too much time out of the ring and social situations because of an overly cautious mom after the IMHA, pretty much ended her obedience career. She did complete her Rally Novice. Nosework is her new sport. More for fun than competition.

Callie is now 12 1/2. Hardly seems possible. Callie is retired from competition. She does some Nosework and may do more locally. She has her CGC, CD, BN, UR01 and RAE. She is such a mommy's girl. Open out of sight stays were too much for her.

Newer to our family is Woodbine High Stepping Only Make Believe (Maggie). Maggie is 4 and loves Nosework. Has CGC and Novice Tricks. May start obedience trialing this winter.

We said goodbye to Iowa at the end of December, 2014. Now we are Floridians with a new world to explore.
