Feeling a bit sentimental

 Lolo- Ch. Acadia Light Up The Stage.  When I first saw this picture, it reminded me of a picture of Carrie. Lolo is a descendent of Carrie's.  If you click on Carrie's "page" you can see just how many generations she goes back.

 When I looked at the 2 pictures together, I like Carrie's more- and although if you look at the "Carrie" label, you will see it here on the blog, I am not going to put them in the same post.   Just suffice to say, when I saw this picture, I saw Carrie- and it made sentimental about all of the dogs in this family, how much they have meant to me, and how each has had an impact on my life.  I am so blessed.

NEW CHAMPION *Ch* Acadia Gregarious

It's True!!  

 Jerry and Linda Gallo came to visit the puppies when they were about 6 weeks old.  I just loved this puppy, and he was so gregarious- he named himself.  I started calling him Gregory at a very young age. He went up to everyone and wanted to be pet, picked up, or just loved.

I noticed that Jerry was wearing this Champion shirt and I said- how fortuitous! 

Gregory finished the championship yesterday at the Western Mass. Shetland Sheepdog Specialty show winning another 5 point major.  This puppy finished in 4 shows all from the 6-9 puppy class.  His first points was a 5 point major win when he was 6 months and 6 days.  His last was a 5 point specialty major two weeks before he turns 9 months.  

I have never had a puppy finish the championship.  Typically my shelties finish around 3 years of age- Lolo just finished at age 5.
