Thanks to Zoe’s kids and their wonderful families for this beautiful painting Diane Wynen did of my Zoe!
I’m sure everyone can guess my favorite pictures of my dogs are in the snow and I just love this one! It captures her beautifully!
Today I had to say good bye to a one of a kind girl. Zoe came into my life 14 years ago next weekend. Crazy to think she was the puppy I almost missed out on. I originally decided that it wasn't the right to add a puppy as I had just moved back to Michigan and lived in an apartment that only allowed one dog. But when her breeders called me again and offered her to me as they just couldn't part with her brother I couldn't pass her up. Little did I know how she would change me. I couldn't have asked for a better foundation bitch. I am so lucky to have her daughter and granddaughter with me. She will live on in her many kids, grand kids, and now great grand kids. She was my laid back girl who turned into a crazy girl when it came to agility. Those who only knew agility Zoe thought she was an over the top barking machine. I remember one time a friend who only knew her from agility was dog sitting for her called and said there is something wrong with Zoe just just laying around and sleeping no barking no jumping 
. That was normal Zoe. We had one last cuddle this morning before she was released from a body that was betraying her. Thanks to all my great friends who have helped me through this last couple of months of ups and downs. I couldn't haven't gotten through this without you. Thank you to Zoe for making me a better person and bringing me some pretty awesome friends and memories. So for now I will say Good Night Not Good Bye.

"We made it to the first trial of the new year and it was lots of fun. It was Sawyer's debut and the first time ive done CPE in over a year I forgot how much I enjoy CPE. Sawyer did great going 5/5 with all first and second places even beating Zoe in a couple of classes! He was a good boy and a lot of fun to run. Everyone was amazed as he hardly makes a sound while running (they are all used to Zoe who is NOT quiet). Mia came along to be the cheer leader and had a great time of course."

Mom Zoe, Dad Miller and 4 of their puppies: Razz, Packer, Mia, and Brie
April 2011
We traveled down to Perry, GA for a conformation and agility trial. It was a bit of a family reunion as Andrea and Brie were there and both Karen and Ann came all the way from Texas with their crew so we had mom Zoe, Dad Miller and 4 of their puppies Razz, Packer, Mia, and Brie. The highlight of the trip was when we got to let the whole crew run together and play in the big field. We had 13 beardies all running and playing together.
Off to a BAD Start
