Since both Deedee and Gracie did not finish their championships , Carolyne and I decided that we would attend the Swift Current Shows ( 6 shows in 3 days). A road trip was in order ! With a 4 lane highway, well behaved dogs and a great driver - Carolyne, this 8 hour trip from Brandon was going to be a manageable one. We had success!

Deedee won WF on the Friday and the Sunday for 2 more points towards her championship.
We are very excited about our "new" look. Our son Grant has been the webmaster of our former and current site. This site allows me to do all of my own editing any time I choose. Hopefully, I will be able to keep my news more up to date.
