Apollo is now Can Ch. SunKissed In Keeping Secrets! He finished his championship in 2 weekends.....beautifully groomed and handled by his co-owner Kara of SunKissed Goldens. Thank you Kara! Apollo and I are currently working together in basic obedience classes. I believe he will be my new therapy dog to honor Molly and to carry on her memory in that field. He will be shown in conformation selectively in the U.S. as he matures.
Siena had an outstanding agility weekend the beginning of June. Her last run of the weekend was fast and clean. We reconnected and are looking forward to a busy July packed full of trials. The obedience bug has bitten me again and we are back to focusing on working towards those CDX and UD titles. I'm trying to fit in as many obedience classes as I can this summer. Also, I am planning on attending a seminar in August.
Truly is making her AKC agility debut in July! She is showing a lot of speed during class and I can't wait to see how we do as a team during a trial. I've decided to hold off taking her out in obedience until she is trained through Utility. We are going to head up to Canada in August for some conformation shows. I just want her to have fun since she hasn't shown in conformation in quite a while. On top of all this training and showing we are planning to breed our beautiful, multi-talented girl this fall or spring depending on timing. Truly is going to be our foundation bitch and we are beyond excited to have our first TruHeart litter!!
Max, now 7 1/2 years old is our house dog and seems to prefer it that way. Although he doesn't attend classes or shows he still remembers all of his utility signals and is the best at retrieving bumpers and all the drills I learned during my field training sessions. He still has the most coat I've ever seen on a golden and I swear grooming him should be considered a full time job!
The BIG change is that we are moving to Georgia in September. It's hard leaving my family and friends but I know it's for a great reason.
Today is bittersweet....so much to look forward to and at the same time thougts turn to the past.... it's exactly 6 months since dad passed away. I miss him so much. Thinking about my dad goes hand in hand with remembering Molly. We've been without her for 2 months now. I lit 2 candles this morning and with subtle sound of the soft rain in the back ground shed a few tears.
Onward to the future....
Apollo....New Can. Ch!!
