nexus wins, oslo 4th, owl nbq

4/20/2014

In the Madison Area Dachshund Club class of 18 Field Champion Dogs, three of the five ribbons went to Nexus, Oslo, and Owl!

I am proud of all of them but especially 12 year old Nexus. On an 85 degree afternoon, the warmest day we've had in months, Nexus put forth great effort had some excellent runs!

I did not run Nexus and Owl on Friday or Saturday because I wanted to concentrate on my youngsters Taya (on Friday), and Viljo (Friday and Saturday.) I think the older dogs were telling me, to heck with this sitting in the car business, we want to run rabbits!

Still a bit amped, Nexus is struggling to get down vs being still for a photo.

Mr Owl

Stan didnt have Oslo in the clubhouse for awards so I did not get a photo of him. But it should be noted that Oslo, the most winning Longhair of all time, still wins and places with regularity. I am very proud of Stan Knoll and Oslo!

FC Marta v Dorndorf L JE LH

July 21, 1998 - January 5, 2013
Outstanding Competitor, Outstanding Producer, Outstanding Character

Marta looked so good when I visited six days ago, I did not think it would be the last time I saw her.

And I didn't think when I posted her photo earlier today that I would be writing this a few hours later. But Jennifer said she had a bad night last night and a worse day today. She was filling with fluid. She wasn't eating. She became lethargic.

It was time to let her go.

I would say "Rest in Peace" but resting isn't really Marta's nature. She wants to run rabbits and she wants to play ball. Have at it, dear Smart Mart. In the meantime, Jennifer and I will think of you every day for the rest of our lives.

An extra special thank you to Dr Angie Callahan for her wonderful care and compassion. And to Christian Stock who took the beautiful photo of Marta...yesterday afternoon.
