Hi, Darlene here..I have never blogged before so here we go:>))

I am trying to get Dream ready for the up coming Rally O trials at WDOC..she is doing much better then I am. But that is 'par' for the course:>) She is one smart cookie..and is kind enough to let me go along for the ride:>) I am seriously considering putting Dream in the Caro Rally trial as well..I am putting Ilmari in Caro..we need one more leg for his RN. Haven't quite made up my mind about Dream, but I am 'thinking' it over. Chrissy is entered in the WDOC obedience trail coming up swiftly..she needs one more leg on her PCD..though she is not ready for novice (her heel off lead sucks) I will move her up once she gets that final leg for PCD. Nothing ventured..nothing gained.
Freedom, as some of you are aware, had surgery Aug. 20th. she had a cancerous kidney removed. she is now cancer free...and though it was expensive..it was worth it to have my girl safe and strong, and healthy..I am fortunate we caught it before it spread. Lastly I have after looking at many studs and their pedigrees, finally selected a beautiful sable merle smooth collie. # 1 smooth collie in Canada,  an Am/Can Ch. who produces absolutely wonderful looking pups stamped with his beautiful head detail and strong body. So sometime next spring once again I will hear the pitter patter of many little feet and the endearing whimpers and yips of healthy collie babies..music to my ears:>) Dream will be the mother and she will become even more lovely when she gives Charisma a handsome brother or 2 or 3, lol, and beautiful sisters too.
