TM Here

Hi Everyone,

TM here.  I started this blog just a year ago, right after I brought Lowri home.  To date, this blog has had over 24,500 hits!  I am simply amazed.  I have been blown away by the different countries represented by those that read my blog.  Thank you for taking time out of your day to read about Lowri and Kearney!  Thank you to everyone that has posted a comment.  It is fun reading them. 

Right now, Lowri is sprawled on the kitchen floor.  I got her back from my kennel partner, Cheryl Kienast (MC), late this morning.  Cheryl did an amazing job this weekend with our little girl.  Penni Adrian (MP) and I were stuck at home (Penni in New Mexico, me in Tennessee) waiting to hear the news of how she did.  We spent a lot of time on the phone either wondering what had happened or giving each other long distance hugs when we did hear.

I cannot thank Janet Suber (G'ma Janet) enough, for entrusting this sweet girl to us.  We are very excited about the future.  Also BIG thanks to Janet for giving us the results as they happened this weekend! 

Papa Ron (my fiance) asked if she was done now that she is a Grand Champion.  I had to break it to him that this is just the start.  He was remarkably good natured about it <G>

Kearney is closing in on his Dual Championship.  I cannot thank Amy Hill enough for pointing the way with her DC Beli.  He was the first Cardigan Herding Champion/Dual Champion.  It was when he completed his title that I said, "Wow, I didn't know you could do that with a Cardigan.  I want to do that too!"  Amy just completed her second Herding Championship.  She did it with an awesome little bitch, Abby.  It is such a joy to see these dogs out herding and doing it right.

I am looking forward to many more posts from Lowri and Kearney.  They make it easy to write about their adventures.  They make my day brighter by just being here.
