"I explained to St. Peter I'd rather stay here outside
the pearly gates.
I'll be very patient and wait. I'll be here, chewing on a celestial bone.
No matter how long you may be.
I'd miss you so much if I went in alone. It wouldn't be heaven
for me"

5/20/1991 - 10/03/2005
Belgian Tervuren owned by Ileana
Nadal
Icee was the most
beautiful dog I had owned. She was my first conformation dog and my first Terv.
She was one of Agility's pioneers. She was the first UKC Agility Champion in
Florida (at that time, it was called NCDA). In 1995 Icee placed third in the
USDAA Nationals in San Antonio, Texas, and also in the three dog Team Relay from
Florida. I was so proud of her! In 1996 Icee earned all her Obedience titles,
going from CD to UD in four months, earning a Dog World Award for that
accomplishment. She had an air about her...her nickname was "Her Royal Majesty",
she was noble to the end.

Boxer owned by Ileana
Nadal and Frankie Nadal
Emmy was the first Boxer in the nation to
earn the MACH title (AKC) and the ADCH (USDAA) as well as a triple Agility Championship.
Emmy was another of the Florida pioneers of Agility. She started out as
Frankie's 4-H dog and then became my beloved Agility, Obedience and Tracking
Dog. She was the top Agility Dog in the country from 1998 to 2001. Emmy was one
of the Alpha Dogs in Animal Planet's Zig & Zag Alpha Dog Challenge, appearing in
six of those episodes. For many years we traveled all over the country competing
in major tournaments. Her last big tournament was the UKC All Stars at the age
of 10, but, most important, she was my best friend and partner.

U-AGII,
Schatze, CD, RN, NAP, NJP, NAJ, NAC, NGC, CGC, TT
Boxer owned by Mary and Steve Quinn
Shatze was Mary’s first agility dog, and because of Shatze Mary applied
her talents to building agility equipment.She was a very expressive dog, and
full of attitude. You could tell what Shatze was thinking by her beautiful eyes,
and her ears. Mary learned agility from Shatze, who was a very demanding
partner. I’ll never forget the day that Mary got lost in the course, and Shatze
gave her one of her disgusted looks, laid her ears back, and left the ring, as
if saying “I don’t know that lady”. She’s now healthy again, and running with
her other buddies that have gone over the bridge. We will all miss you Shatz!

Rosie, UDX, RAE, OA, OAJ
German
Shepherd Dog
owned by Bette Burch
Rosie
belonged to a lady in Ocala who gave her to a trainer in Tallahassee so he could
put obedience titles on her. He took her as far as a UD, then she went back to
the owner. By then, the owner was involved with Kerry Blue Terriers and wanted
to place the dog. Becky Babicz bought some sheep from the lady and heard about
Rosie. She told Bette about her and the rest is history. Bette got Rosie at 5
years old. Bette had to show in Utility for IPOC at DOCOF that year (which was
6 weeks away and Rosie was in heat). Bette had only been in the ring in
Novice. Jean Rodoski helped train Bette in Utility 3 weeks before DOCOF
using flash cards and prayer. Rosie went on to earn her UDX, Open Agility and
Rally titles with Bette. The last 8 years of her life were very full of dog
sports and lots of Bette's love.

Himark's Silver Belle
CDX, RN, AX, MXJ, MJP, NFP, U-CDX, U-AG1, WWCDX, WWRA, NAC, OCC, EJC, TN-O
Shetland
Sheepdog Owned and loved by Janice and David
Thomas. Shilo was Janice's first dog to train and show. They were peas in a pod
and Janice misses her terribly. Shilo loved to show but enjoyed watching videos
of herself even more. She would promptly park herself in front of the TV and
barked until they showed the videos for the day. Of course, she would continue
barking the entire time she watched herslef so Jan & David could not hear the
commentary of their friends who took the videos.
Shilo made Janice's life complete and while
she realizes time will ease her pain, she knows her heart will never be the
same. She can't imagine training another dog.
Shilo gave Jan & David three of their current
Shelties, one being their homebred agility champion, Kashmir. Her love and
devoted companionship are in each and every one of her offspring for which
they are thankful.
She was named after the Neil Diamond song "Shilo"....Janice's
favorite line in the song is...."Shilo You Always Came" which she did at least
most of the time.

She was most certainly a gift from God!
"Until we are together again..............we
love you and miss you dearly, Shilo."

incredible strides within one year of training, and was ready to enter

inspiration to all who knew and loved him.
