Jamie (Am Can Ch Karrelene's Renaissance Man) came out of retirement to earn his Rally Novice title at 7 years of age with a score of 97 out of a possible 100 points and a 4th place in the class.  He missed 3rd place by 20 seconds.  Now to convince him stay does NOT mean "come to mommy"...... ........sigh.  That may take a bit longer...... .....big sigh.

We were a few miles from it, but felt nothing nor did we hear it or at least didn't realize what it was and neither did those with us.  The show site was fairly close to it, they closed all but two roads into the area, but the show went on on time anyway.  That day it was an evening show and we were on the beach and saw the dark cloud over the palm trees and thought it was going to rain, but when we went further out on the beach you could see the smoke rising.  What should have been a half hour drive took us 2 1/2 hours.  At least we were never bothered by the smoke at either place.

 

Thanks.  Think the Uhlar's are still floating above Cloud 9 somewhere.

Oh Ilene...

 

I was so worried about you...I knew you had taken your crew to Puerto Rico, and when I saw there was a terrible explosion there somewhere, and there was a mandatory evacuation...I worried about you and all your dogs...were you anywhere near that?? 

 

Mary Ann

 

ps...congratulations...Uhlar's have to be thrilled, and Sorah sure came back strong!!

Firstly I want to congratulate Dan & Margie Uhlar of Colorado. Dan finished their boy Spencer (Ch Karrelene's I Want It All). They are so excited they have to come down to Cloud 9 level.............grin..........and it may take awhile. Dan showed Spencer to his title and won three 3 point majors and a 5 point major plus 2 singles and Spencer is only 20 months old. He is their first Gordon Setter and their first show dog!!!!! Spencer is the second in his litter to finish and a third one is pointed. Spencer is sired by Multi BIS Multi BISS Am Ch Can UKC G Ch Karrelene's Bagpiper Am Can CD, Am Can RN CGN and out of Am Can Ch Warchant Penelope AD Am Can CD Am Can RN JH CGN. Spencer looks very much like his grandfather, Treever, except the eyes are different.

The second Championship belongs to our own darling Sorah, now Am Can Ch Karrelene's Bagpiper's Legacy. Sorah, like Spencer, is a Galen daughter and is out of Can Ch Karimar's Forbidden Fruit JH. This Championship is extra special to us as a year ago July she fractured the bone behind her left knee and unbeknownst to us or the vets also tore the cruciate in her right knee and we weren't 100% sure she would ever go back into the ring. The cruciate injury wasn't discovered until two days before her father's death and was repaired exactly a week after his death. It has only been 5 months since the cruciate repair and a month before the shows she pulled a muscle in the right leg the very first day she was allowed to run on her own. Our vet........bless him.......left about 1/2 the pants on the back of her leg when he repaired the cruciate though everything else had to go. He swore she would be back in the ring by the end of October......before she pulled the muscle!!! Though she looked a bit unbalanced due to coat differences (6 inches on the left stifle and 2 or 3 on the right..........yes, she is a coat machine like her father!!!!), she went Best of Breed over the Special for a 5 point major the first day, reserve the second day and Best of Breed the third day for a 4 point major to finish!!!!! Moved to Specials she again went Best of Breed the fourth day!! She ended up finishing with three majors all together plus singles.

Also would like to add that I made my reappearance in the ring for the first time in over two years too...........new knee and all...... and showed Sorah in Bred By and it was GREAT!!!! I do admit to passing her off for Winners Bitch and BOB. Did handle someone elses dog all the way thru the last day and didn't have a problem.......yahoo!!!!

Thanks for listening.
