CTC Maureen O'Hara CGC RN RA JS-N - "Mauri"
Red Merle Female

This girl is sweet and very happy, my pick puppy. She went home with Melinda to start training for obedience and agility!
10/9/11: Update from Melinda: We have just returned from the RAT ASCA trial this weekend. It is such a wonderful journey learning to partner with Mauri. She is an awesome little girl and we had a wonderful weekend. Some crazy over the top moments and a lot of really nice focus on me and the directions I was giving her. We are definitely on a journey together and it is quite a ride.
She did get
three jumper's qualifying scores and
1 gamblers qualifying score. I was very pleased. She also got her
ASCA Novice Jumber's title!

7/19/11: Update from Melinda: Miss Mauri got her first
Qualifying score in a Jumpers run at the ASCA trial yesterday. She was so awesome.

10/11/09:
Little update, Mauri passed her
Canine Good Citizen test yesterday. She did so well under difficult circumstances. I was really proud of her. Last week we actually sequenced two obstacles. She is going to be so fast that I have to really work distance with her right from the beginning.
Mauri's greatest love in life is to just run! She is so beautiful to watch and so much fun as she runs for the pure joy of running. She does not need a companion, she just loves to run.
6/22/09:
At the agility trial this weekend Diana and I were able to get Merlin, Mystic and Mauri together for some family photos. . . They had a great time playing together. Mystic is about 15 lbs heavier than Mauri but she really holds her own with all of the bigger dogs and still remains so sweet. I continue to feel so blessed to have her. She is a constant source of delight. . . We are working on very beginning, foundation Agility, some obedience and I have been taking a handling class. I may try to show her in ASCA Altered just for the fun and experience of doing it.

6/30/11 - Diana reports on agility: Mystic had two fabulous NADAC runs last evening - earning him his 3rd leg, and his
Open Weavers (WV-O) title, plus an extra Q. He was 1st place for both his runs! I was really happy with his runs - he was on fire, and really sent out to all the obstacles. Yipee! :-)

5/21/11 - Diana reports a great day at agility:
We started the morning with Excellent, and it was a bit scary doing Jumpers, as the grass was wet and slippery. Mystic did such a great job! He did a total wipeout TWICE on turns, and slipped a couple more - BUT he kept all the bars up and didn't have any refusals, for
Q #1. The grass was dryer for Standard, so no slipping there. He nailed every contact perfectly (thanks for the great class Tues. Sally, and the great opportunity to actually correct the little darling in class!!!) We did lots of rear crosses, and Mystic read them well (thanks Andrea for the light-bulb inducing class on Thurs!!).
Q #2! Mystic was the
only 20" Ex. A dog to Q - for EITHER class! Such a good boy!!
4/3/11 - Diana and Mystic had fun at the ZAP NADAC trial yesterday. Mystic had a fabulous Open Weavers run - and came in
first place, for leg #2 (he needs 1 more for his Open Weavers title)!

3/7/09 - the latest on Mystic . . .
Mystic is doing fabulous. A week ago he went for his visit at Michelle's, and he weighed 21.1 pounds! Such a solid little guy! I'm sure he weighs MORE now. He went with to the AKC agility trial last weekend at Argus, and had such a great time. He visited so many people, and dogs. Including two huge Irish Wolfhounds (at the same time - he just danced right up to say hello), a St. Bernard, a very tiny 10 week old Papillion, and a bunch of dogs in between. He was happy to meet all of them, and all the people. I'm so proud of him, and thrilled with him. He's such a love, and so smart and good. We're going to the ASCA agility trial tomorrow, and I expect he'll have a great time there, too. He's so much fun. Can you tell I really like him? LOL! Merlin and Amy did good for me. OH, and he's lost his front teeth! The new teeth are coming in on the top, and he's bare on the bottom at the moment. He's been chewing on lots of sticks when he goes out to potty, so his current nickname is Beaver. :-)
Mystic is having a good time with Diana

CTC Red Hot Firestorm Alice - "Alice"
Red Merle Female
3/10/09 "Alice" is now with Molly. They have plans for obedience and agility!
She's very keen witted, quick and fearless. She also loves to retrieve and carry around toys.

3/10/09: We LOVE her so much! . . . I took her for a long walk and now we are watching some tv! She really likes all our snow, its still about 4 feet deep in the back yard, but she can walk on top of it because its mostly frozen!
. . . We already worked with her today on some obedience, she is so smart! I think she will be great.
3/11/09: We went to the park today, we walked there on a leash and practiced heeling (she is very good already). Then she got to get off leash and run! My husband would go to one side of the park and me to the other and we learned "come." She did VERY well, she came every time we called! We both had treats, but still, she did a great job!
10/4/09: Alice is doing really well. She has been through 3 obedience classes, and she's got agility lessons too. She's really good! She's a great jumper and she's very smart. We found out she likes to swim . . . we have a pool in the back yard and she likes to come in with her life jacket and swim with us. I have some pictures I just have to get them downloaded . . .
CTC Hot Kallahari Sands - "Kallie"
Black Tri Female - Now with the Rices and doing great!
3/4/09 - the latest on Kallie. . .

all she just wants everyone to just get along and be happy which puts the balance into all those strong traits.
