Grendel's Stats

Hi all, At almost 13 years with an inoperable liver tumor it was time to let her just be a crazy dog. Grendel (Spindrift Cookie Monster Risa CD RN PT AX MXJ VX) has retired. She was supposed to retire back in September but we were in a pretty bad car accident that week. After 4 weeks of extensive physical therapy so I could at least turn my head and run, we had our final run on Sunday. It was beautiful. She was excited and so happy to be there. She ran like a champ, sassing me the whole way. I have never been so proud of her as I was at that moment when we finished. Grendel has been a handful of a dog. She has had sound sensitivi ty issues that I made worse then had to fix. But most of all she has been my friend and companion. I find it one of my greatest achievements as a trainer that I let her be her and not what I wanted her to be. Subsequently she has raised several dogs and my boys to be wild and crazy just like her. Now we are on to hiking, running, and more herding! Hug all your special dogs tonight. It really isn’t the titles that matter, it truly is the journey. Grendel has taught me well. -Kim Krueger and Grendel

I finally did it. I moved Miss Grendel down to preferred. I must say we had an absolute blast. It was so much fun to run Novice courses again. She flew through the course and had so much fun. It was time to do it and I am thankful I have preferred to run her in. Thanks everyone!
