We have had an amazing spring. Very very busy, going to the American Nationals and then off to the Canadian Nationals 3 weeks later, with a quick stop in Saskatoon in between at the Sheltie Specialty there.
We lost a very special friend, its been hard to talk about, but probably time, he was Rod Oishi a very close friend, and we lost him May 17, 2014 at the age of 51. RIP my friend.
I tried to keep busy, knowing that Rod was loosing his battle, we stayed up most nights talking, but the chats got shorter and shorter, he was so weak. I miss him SO much!
On the brighter side, i Finished his girl we co owned, she also went Best In Sweeps at the Saskatoon Specialty under breeder/Judge Simone Rudolph (Glamoor's Shelties)
She is Now Ch. Akirene's Simply Shameless HIC

We picked up our lovely boy "Rush" Who is now at 7 Am Points, and made the trek home. We also had to stop at the Oishi's in Peachland BC Rod's parents, to visit, and bring home a special gift that was whelped at his house after he had passed. I had whelped her myself, a singleton when visited just after his passing, and "Morgan" had one tri girl that i couldnt wait to see if she had "made the cut" for the show ring. I was delighted to see she was all that and more!
So "Eden" Akirene's Heaven Sent, has joined us here at Cassbar. She will be co owned with Jackie Thuener from Hawaii, and shown here in Canada and the US by us both. Thank you so much Irene & Aki for this lovely baby, Rod will be smiling from above. Her mother "Morgan" Kismet's Siren Song of Akirene has also come to spend some time on the prairie.
