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

November 3rd, 2008 Still in Florida

This was a fun day...... there is a beach in Jupiter that allows dogs to run free. Pirate was great loose, but Chelsea wanted to run in the water, and as you can see, it was quite rough, and we didn't want to chance losing our little girl........... we ended up keeping the both of them tethered.





I threw Pirate's frisbee...... thinking that it would float, and a wave got it and washed it away, and the darn thing sunk like a lead weight....... poor Pirate was searching for his lost booty. That frisbee was his favorite....... we've since replaced it, and he's as happy as ever. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to go back to this beach before we make our way back to the cold of Long Island.
Oh, on a side note...... we did great at the Nationals...... Pirate won lots of ribbons...... check it out at www.briardclubofamerica.org - look at the 2008 National Specialty show......under the link at the top "Nationals", Pirate won best puppy dog 6 - 9 Month old, and then best puppy dog 6-9 month old Sweepstakes.......... he also won the Puppy match...... what an incredible experience...... we will show again in Springield, MA the weekend of November 22nd........ and then the following weekend at Fitchburg, MA.







Pirate loves the water !
