When Nancy was a young dog, she took many agility classes and
was doing well, She was so very fast, however, she never really
seemed to like agility...
She did win her first Qualifying Score with a
1st Place in a TDAA Games class,
but in October, 2003, she was retired from agility
and our little JOEY started agility and
obedience competition training!
Frankie specializes in being CUTE!
However, in January, 2004, Frankie needed disc surgery
for ruptured discs in his back.
We are grateful he made a good recovery and
will be just fine. Be sure to see his

***** 2008 was not been a good year for this family!
In August, 2008, Nancy developed AIHA, which
is 'Auto-Immune Hemolytic Anemia', the same dreaded
illness that took our Pippy in 2001.
Nancy was under the care of the team at Wright Animal Hospital
in Des Plaines, IL; the same specialized team that cared for Pippy...
We fought for Nancy's life for 5 weeks, she put up a good fight...
Even with the best care and treatment, Nancy didn't respond to any
of the treatments.
Nancy Died on Sept 3, 2008,
Here is her Memorial and Illness Links:
Nancy Has AIHA Thanks for Visiting Nancy .....

We now have a full house, but the pups just adore David!
2010 has been an OK year for us so far!
April 2010, no longer a good year, I lost my job of 27 years!
