WTCH ATCH Toprock’s Chillin’ With Ewe AFTDsm RTDcs PATDs CD RX – “CHILL”<br />
I love competing with Chill. She has endless enthusiasm and always<br />
gives her all to please me and perform. She always has a big smile on her<br />
face no matter what job she is performing. She makes me smile all day long<br />
with her happy to do it all attitude. She really has made a special spot in my<br />
heart. Heartfelt thank you to Gayle and Shannon Oxford for selling me Chill’s<br />
sire and getting me started on this amazing journey with my amazing dogs.<br />
Chill and I could not train or even get to Nationals to compete without<br />
all the help that my friends and family give me. I am thankful for my husband<br />
Robert for his support and love of me and the dogs. Never-ending gratitude<br />
and thanks goes to my sister Meredith for helping me with everything and for<br />
ranch-sitting while I am out of town. This year she had to do the lambing for<br />
the first time with me gone to Nationals!! She is an amazingly good sport!!<br />
Thanks go to Amy Randle for keeping me training all year to get the<br />
dogs ready. She is a great friend! Thank you, Curt Uritz, for keeping Chill’s<br />
obedience and rally tuned up for me so I could handle her at Nationals and<br />
teaching all the fun Open and Utility stuff!<br />
A special thank you to all my students who come for lessons, and<br />
support and encourage me to train and compete. Love you all.<br />
Thank you to Darlene and Kirk Findlay for fixing everything that breaks,<br />
and for supplying me with all the raw food for my dogs. Chill thrives on her Harmony Farms Raw Food. You guys are the best!<br />
Thank you to Nancy Gast, Curt Uritz, and Janet Colby for allowing me to compete with your dogs at Nationals. Showing your awesome dogs is an honor,<br />
and you are all much appreciated.<br />
Thank you to my friends, Lawrence and Joanne Gerstle. Keeping a Nationals savings account for me all year that helps pay to get me to Nationals. And<br />
thanks for all your help with the cover photo and training Chill to ride the horse!<br />
Without my fantastic Stockdog trainers, Chill and I would not be successful in the stock arena. Many, many thanks go to Sherry Baker, Kathy Warren,<br />
and Cathe Walker.<br />
Photo credit goes to Kirsten Cole-MacMurray, Amy Randle, Aryana Shepherd, and Lyn Silberer.<br />
It took a village to get our cover photo shot. Thank you to all my friends that helped. And thank you Steve Mitchell for all your photo expertise. And<br />
many thanks to Stephanie Nishimoto, who helps me with everything!<br />
