• Raven obtained
her ADCH today. For many years Kate felt that this was an unobtainable goal. Today
with the help of Darrell Stover and Envy we completed our quest with a first place finish in Pairs. Thanks to
all of the instructors, people we have paired with, and all of those who cheered us on without all of you this
would NEVER would have been possible.

• Trick placed second in the 16th annual GADDC Disc Dog Spring
Championships. This was Kate and Tricks second competition in the Frisbee world. They placed 6th at the
Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon. There are apparently big thing on the horizon for this sweet little
Border Collie.

• Ekko continues to progress in class. She is
obviously enjoying being back. We continue to keep her under close observation for any signs of
discomfort. So far the news continues to be GREAT !
The next weeks
are very busy with shows and demos at least one each week.

• Some of you might have noticed that we have
removed the American Cancer Demos that were planed for Columbus, GA. This is due to unrealistic demands
from the local Animal Control. It was great reservation that we cancelled our participation, because it is
a GREAT cause.
For those who have been asking, Ekko is doing well and has rejoined her agility
training class at Sirius. We hope to see her competing soon if all goes well. Thank you all for your
concern.

• This weekend we are attending the AKC
Agility Nationals in Concord, NC. We attend not as competitors, but as workers. We have been working hard this
year to complete Raven's ADCH, so we did not compete much in the AKC venue. It will surely be a weekend of
top-shelf agility, and spending time with friends and meeting new ones.
Go Team
Georgia !

continues to improve, and it would appear that after a rehab

• Ekko had her second treatment today. She
is now allowed 2 0 minute walks twice a day. She seems to be progressing nicely. Only time will tell her
final outcome, but we continue to be very hopeful.

• Today Ekko was evaluated by Dr Castle,
and she thinks that Ekko is a good candidate for Prolotherapy. Ekko
will be starting the treatments on Wednesday February 18. The treatment will continue for 3 weeks, one
treatment each week. Then there will be a period (4 weeks) of graduated increasing activity. We should
know the outcome of the treatment in the first week of April.

• Today we received news that no competitive dogs owner ever wants to
receive. Ekko, one of our brightest up and coming stars, apparently has a partially torn ACL. In
addition, x-rays revealed that she is horribly dysplastic. She will be scheduled to be evaluated by a
specialist. Only time will tell if she will ever be able to compete in
agility.
