Apsos for the Cure
Posted: July 21, 2007 Filed under: Apso Aficionados, DRambles on Black Mountain 1 CommentKathy has three dogs, including Here I Am! Tessa, from behind the roses. Kathy contacted me for a dog several years ago and later got Pete – Sweet Pete – from me. Our friendship continues to grow. Kathy and I usually meet for coffee and pastries on a not-often-enough basis. Yesterday we met for lunch, beginning at Creekside Cellars in downtown Evergreen and ending at a picnic table right next to Bear Creek, sharing thoughts, beliefs, ideas, projects and ourselves.
Kathy’s latest medium, shall I say, is Ric Rac. Remember the stuff? It brings back fond memories of my grandmother. I had completely forgotten about Ric-Rac. Look at one of the things Kathy’s done with Ric Rac…
It graces the back of a denim shirt. Note the fuzzy ends of the Apso’s coat. Ya gotta love it! She also wore a necklace comprised of an amulet strung on Ric Rac. She’s had the amulet for a long time. It looks very Apsoish. The Ric Rac, in this case, symbolizes the Himalayas. I’m always curious to see what Kathy will be wearing, as she embellishes her clothing with embroidery, among other things, often with an Apso theme.
Besides the pretty pink rose earrings, she sported an unusual pin; obviously a breast cancer awareness pin, but a feather was incorporated into the design. It was beautiful. Maybe Kathy can take a photo of it. I can’t find an image online. An Irishwoman herself, Kathy is drawn to many things, including Native American culture. The pin was designed to bring awareness to breast cancer within the Native American population.
Inside the card below, she wrote:
“It takes a cyber village to raise a happy Lhasa Apso!
A BLOG is born!
Celebrate your passion Ride the Prayer Wheel in Faith!”
Kathy told me only she would give a rock as a gift. <g> The rock now resides in my garden, nestled in the Witch’s Timble.
New Homes
Posted: July 19, 2007 Filed under: Apso Aficionados, FFT Lhasa Apsos 3 CommentsPeople ask us all the time, “Isn’t it hard to let our puppies and dogs go, don’t we get attached?” Of course we do! It is especially hard to let some of the older dogs go, that have been so important to us. Yet, those moments of sadness seem almost insignificant compared to the joy we are able to give the puppies/dogs and their new owners when the dogs are placed in their “forever” homes. This past weekend, I placed 2 puppies in their “forever” homes and I look forward to staying in touch and hearing about the love and joy the puppies have brought into their new familes.-Julie

Also, going to her new home is, “Timbers’ For Your Eyes Only”, call name Iris. Iris, went to live with Shelley Potter, who will co-own her with my daughter, Kaylee and myself. I have know Shelley for years, as a student of mine ,where I teach confirmation classes. Shelley has shown and raised Lowland Polish Sheepdogs and has always loved the look and heritage of the lhasa .Shelley contacted me, when she decided she was ready for a “show” lhasa. I look forward, to watching Shelley fall in love with breed (we all know it is inevitable) and welcoming her into our world of the Lhasa Apso and the Fleetfire Timbers’ circle of friends.
You may have noticed Shelley has been posting comments for the past couple of months and there is a link to her website.

Dante’s on a roll!

All of Vickie’s hard work, determination and training is paying off in a big way! Dante – FFT Kisses of Fire – was awarded Best of Breed both days at the Roaring Forks Kennel Club shows in Eagle, Colorado. Just needing majors, he’s fast approaching a Championship title of his own. Dante, a beautiful dog with lots of attitude and hair, has presented Vickie with several challenges not for the faint of heart, particularly difficult as her first show dog. She has listened, learned and implemented advice and I was delighted last Sunday to be able, with jest, tell her “I told you so! I am very proud of her. I am very proud of Dante. Monday night, at a Lhasa club meeting, Mary Schroeder, former breeder and current judge of Lhasa Apsos, commented that Vickie looks like she’s been showing Apsos for years. A well-deserved compliment! Way to go Vickie!
