The Passing of a Grand Dam :-(

Sophie

This week, Willow's mom and Mya's grandmother crossed over the "Rainbow Bridge" and joined all our beloved dogs that were right there to greet her ... and off they all went, romping under the sunny bright blue sky, through fields of waving green grass, bright yellow flowers and flowing bodys of crystal blue water ... happy and painfree ;o) (Above photos by SunKissed Goldens)

Sophie loved "Pool-Time"

We'll miss Sophie at her family pool, but take comfort that she's enjoying great family company "Over the Rainbow Bridge" ;o)

Sutter Shines at Winter Agility League!

2013-2014 Winter Agility League
(Photo & Course map by Lola Grab)

What a better way to to help endure this unbelievable winter than "playing" Agility with a buddy who has shared life's journey for 12 exciting years ... Sutter has enjoyed her 1:1 time since October in the League and when her handler had "a good brain day", we SMOKED the course ... Jumps, Tunnels, A-frame, Dogwalk, Weavepoles, See-saw ... all in a judge's designed course path of up to 20 obstacles in multiple directions and order!
