We started this journey many years ago, knowing that our daughter was waiting for us somewhere in China. That journey began in 2004, but after a setback healthwise, we had to pull out, thinking our hopes were dashed forever. Then in late 2005, with renewed purpose and strength we again began the process of our adoption. We were logged into China March 28th, 2006, and were matched with our Dear Daughter, October 13th, 2009. GOTCHA 12/14/09 Forever Ours 12/15/09

July 11, 2008 Pirate's Debut

Today was Pirate's Showing Debut........ Riverhead Kennel Club hosted the event. Pirate turned 6 months old a week ago, and that is the minimum age a dog must be to compete. We'll, we tried our hat in the ring, and I must say my boy is spectacular, as his Mom, (that'd be me), only holds him down. This is a first for both of us............ he's Heaven Sent, and my Champion Always.............. and tomorrow, we'll try again.................... :) Pirate won "Winner's Dog", AND, got his first point towards his Championship............ YEAH!!!!!!!!!

We are both needless to say........ EXHAUSTED. This day, has been incredible, and more fun than I've had in a VERY LONG TIME. ... my thanks to his Breeders......... Penny Morris, and Kathy Lanam, but also to Ellen Jo Myers............ who's dog won Best In Breed today.......... AND, then went in against all of the other Herding Dog Winners, and FANTASTIC NEWS.........Ellen's Dog Won Best in Group.
