We would like to extend our sympathies to Maria Neff who lost a very special friend this past week. Reed
was Maria's first show dog. Reed passed after bravely battling health challenges in his senior years. Reed will
always be that special dog in Maria's heart. He is the first Aussie she has sent on to the Rainbow Bridge making
Tuesday an especially difficult day. Debbie shares this photo of Maria & Reed winning Best of Breed at their first show!
*** Big hugs Maria *** We are very sorry for your loss.
My mom and I just wanted to thank you all for your kind words and prayers in this time of Reed's passing.
He was the most amazing dog even though he wasn't a Thornapple! He was a super intelligent guy and was the
most gentle animal I have ever encountered. He will be greatly missed but I know that it was time for him to
go and I know he is in a better place. My condolences to Betsy on her Breeze. It's definitely one of the hardest
things to go through but it's worth it for the ones we love so dearly and they joy they brought to our lives each
and every day. Thanks again to everyone! Hugs, Maria

CKC Ch Thornapple Intuition "Mylie"
Hope that you had a great Christmas!!! We had a quiet Christmas spent with my family and of course the dogs:)
I have some pictures of Mylie and Alice for you. Mylie thinks that everyday is THE best day of her life but she especially loves Christmas day!!!!
It's funny because she did the EXACT same thing this year that she did last year. She would take her present, jump up on the love seat, unwrap it,
then roll around, fall off the loveseat then jump back up, roll around again, fall again and so on and so on. Next year we will have to try to
remember to video her because it is very funny!! Alice is a little calmer opening her presents. She opens them and then plays with them without
falling off of any furniture:) Hugs, Angela



 
Thank you for your global warming update Angela!!!!

Mylie says NO GLOBAL WARMING in Nova Scotia Canada!!!


The puppies of Goodman are very good working dogs! Best regards! Claudine
Thornapple One Good Man is a truffles search dog as well as many of his offspring!
