What a difference a few weeks make!

With Sympathy...

Our thoughts and prayers go out to our dear friends Phil and Jeanne Woods.  Philip's mother, Patsy Le Woods, passed away this week after a long illness. I am sure that she is pain free and happy now.

The visitation and burial was today in Chillicothe, MO.  We didn't want to bother Jeanne and Phil to find out details of the services, so I relied on legacy.com and the information did not make it to the internet in time.  We missed the service, but want you to know that you are in our hearts.

If you would like to leave a message for Jeanne and Philip, you may do so by signing the guestbook through the funeral home's website:

Happy Anniversary Edwina & Rich Dolack!

Today is my oldest sister and her husband's 50th wedding anniversary.
Yep, they're old...really old!

Happy 50th Anniversary to Edwina and Richard Dolack!

They have always had a relationship that I admired.  They can laugh and joke with each other without the other getting upset (OK not too upset) and have always had a special bond.  They have a great kids and grandkids.
Here's wishing them many more happy healthy years together!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Dave and I would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and let you know how thankful we truly are for such wonderful friends and family.

We are even thankful (a little) for those of you who are a real pain in the rear, for you make us really appreciate those who aren't.

Q passed his BAER test a short time ago and I have a copy of the form, just waiting for it to be posted.

Q is a beautiful 10" boy with a lovely coat and excess cute and personality.  He is from an All Champion litter, and has sired his first litter.  All puppies seem to be taking after their father.  We are excited about them.  Scroll down to see photos of the Quincy - Tina litter (Tina is from an All-Champion litter as well), and check to see if your favorite is still available.

Here are some photos of Q, at the request of some breeders interested in using him.  I am afraid that they do not do his 'cuteness' enough justice, but you can see his awesome structure.  I would still like to get some movement shots of him sometime soon.  Contact his owner, Vicki Thompson at havanesevicki@weshowdogs.info for more information about this lovely dog.

Congratulations to dear friend Jon Rawliegh and the beautiful puppy bitch, 'Katniss', that he finished yesterday and won the breed with today.  New Champion Havdiss Catching Fire.  Jon had a great day today, winning the breed with his Toy Fox Terrier, Toy Poodle, and Havanese.  Dave helped him out by showing the Havanese in the group, and being awarded a GROUP 1, by Judge Troy Dargin!  So as not to upset the 'balance' Jon had Dave showed her for Best in Show as well.  Due to a big mess up with scheduling, there was a 1 1/2 hour delay from the Toy Group to the start of the Herding Group, followed by Best so everyone was very tired.  Katniss did great but it was a tough line up.  We expect to see more of her out there next year.
