Spring is here.....almost!


It's been quite some time since the last update, and a lot has happened since January. We went to the Ohio IABCA show at the end of January and had a great time and met +20 Shilohs and their wonderful owners. Farrah won her age catergory in 3 out of 4 shows, as well as winning Best Puppy in Breed in Show #1. She also won Best of the Herding Group in show#1 which put us in Best in Show. We didn't place, but had fun getting there. For shows 2,3 and 4 we finished 2nd puppy in breed, and the Shiloh that won the breed went on to win Best in Show! For the Shiloh Speciality, we competed in the adult catergory and finished 3rd!

We've also been rather busy with work, life etc. We've been doing Therapy Dog visitations for 4 months now, and are starting at another facility this week. Farrah is a natural at it and the seniors we visit really look forward to seeing her. This week Farrah and I are out in NW Ontario at the field station where I work, and I was able to snap some shots from our day off today. We spent most it hiking through the forest enjoying the changing of the seasons. She gets so excited being out here in the Canadian Shield, and being spring she is also shedding her winter coat. I also suspect she is very near going into heat, as she is exceptionally wild and sassy these days! Spring is definitely in the air!

















Off to Therapy Work!








Sassy dog at Springtime!
