Spirit earns her First Major win in the Ring

On April 22nd, 2011 - at Springfield Kennel Club - Spirit went Winner Bitch, Best of Winners and (to top it off) Best of Breed for her first major win! Congratulations to her and Phoebe for this exciting day!

Since then Spirit has earned several single points and now has a total of 8 points and 1 major.

Way to go girls! Keep up the good work so Spirit can come back home!

Spirit runs for Fun!

Spirit was not happy recently when I tried to explain to her that she was now about to become a "Show Dog".

She said ", What are you talking about, I don't want to hear about this "show dog" stuff.
I am only 3 years old!!! and I still LOVE to run!!! "

I promised her that we would call it "semi-retirement" and that if the situation arised, she would still be able to "get the bunny" from time to time! How can one deny her her favorite activity of all time!
Since we headed down to Calhoun, GA this past weekend to "QC" Amos at the GANG trial there, we let her run 2 of 4 days. She proved that she still wanted to run by going BOB on Friday! Congrats to Miss Spirit - this little red girl loves to run more than life itself!!!


This coming weekend will be hard for me, but I know it will be worth it in the end. She will be heading off to spend time with her new friends. Good Luck to Miss Spirit in her new endeavors, I know she will do great and I hope she will be back home in no time!

Thanks to Mike for the great photos.

Spirit looking pretty

I just love these photos of Spirit that Mike took this past weekend. So beautiful, some of my favorite photos of her. She is sporting her new "Good Luck" Dragon collar that she received from her Sister "Ruby". Thanks Sis! She loves it and it looks great on her.
