We got up at 5am on time change day (feeling like 4am) to drive to Nova Scotia where Rey (handled by our friend Clara) earned their first Q in advanced rally with a score of 98 and a 2nd in class!

Vet checkup for Rey today, all is well even tho Rey thinks it was a poor use of her time 🤣

Group naps are the best 😍

Fun in the snow!

An introduction to the Manchester Terrier!

Last but not least, Castle! Am/Can CH Taji Curlious Dreams In Red MazShalna CGN NTD.
Castle passed earlier this year and is greatly missed by all who knew him. He was my "token" sighthound/big dog, although being raised among the Cresteds he didn't realize he was big.
