2013 was one of those years with ups and downs - just like most!
On the happy side, Woot and Big Mo had a lot of fun with agility training. Big Mo is resuming (at age 10) after a long hiatus from when I was injured. Woot has just begun this year and is showing lots of promise.
Corky, now 15, continues to shine doing nosework. She may be retired from many of her sports but you just can't keep an energizer bunny athlete like Corky down.
Momo, now CH Avita Coup de Foudre, completed her bench championship. All three home girls, Corky, Big Mo and Woot, completed their CGCs - Corky repeating at 14 after passing it at age 1 or w.
On the not so good side, Corky suffered very serious complications from the removal of a minor bump. She was very ill for some time and was left with a severed achilles tendon. Fortunately, she is as spunky as ever and is now getting around quite well with a brace that was fabricated just for her.
Late in the year, Eloise, Avita Living Large, surprised us by eloping with her long time whippet boyfriend Rockall and gave us a lovely litter of grandpuppies.
We are looking forward to more fun in 2014.
