Our hearts feel like they just cannot ache anymore........... yet they do..............  

Our special boy Gillie suddenly left us on Friday.  There was no warning, he was with us but now he is gone.  Gillie was the token male out in the Ontario Albanor harem.  He took us places in the ring that we had only dreamt of going.  

A Group placing dog he absolutely floated around the ring.  He always showed with such style and grace and we loved the sudden look of interest from the judge when Gillie moved out, almost as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.  

I always gave him a kiss and whispered "let's go!".........
and go he did, he never let us down!!!!!  

He gave Rhona some fabulous obedience routines but always managed to miss one sit putting him out of the placements and HIT's!  At one HOTHOTHOT GRCC National he made the cut in the specials ring then raced over to the obedience ring giving us a wonderful routine...talk about versatile!  

Gillie's joy was just being Gillie.......he was not a ball fanatic, instead he was always off doing his own thing...especially rooting around looking for deer poop!  Oh our Gillie-man we will miss you so much..........

hope you are doing laps round your trees somewhere................
