Breed history made
Posted: August 27, 2013 Filed under: Gompa Lhasa Apsos 3 CommentsI will expand on the past weekend, fabulous as it was, in a day or two. Written by Vickie, here’s a synopsis:
If The Shoe Fits,

wear it…
If the words are pouring out…write them.
Months and months ago, in Keep Writing Your Story, I shared my thoughts, feelings and breeding plans. Most have not changed… well except for the breeding plans. Ella ended up bred to Danba, producing Zopa, Tanner and Landin. Jena was bred to Rishi producing Payton and Indy. And that’s it. That’s all she wrote. Ha! I could stop there. That’s all she wrote.
But that ain’t all I’m gonna write. Not today. Not in the future.
Stymied by an additional workday along with wondering what words would be valuable to readers, I stopped. I didn’t stop writing. I just stopped putting words here. That’s gonna change. Not sure what the change will look like, but I’m headed back down the writing path.
The Photo My Photo. That’s the name of my current photography project. Based on favorite photos by real photographers, I create an image inspired by the photos. And it usually has to do with dogs. This photo by Nancy Warner inspired the shot of my agility shoes sitting on a cloth given to me by Madame Yolande de Zarobe.
So, Deb, Put On Your Red Shoes. Let’s Dance. Or write.

It has been forever since I’ve visited this blog, let alone posted. I see the last post was also a memorial too. Thanks Susan for sharing about Dom’s departure and for sharing your memorial photo.
Gone but not forgotten
Posted: October 3, 2012 Filed under: FFT Lhasa Apsos 6 CommentsIt is with great sadness, but wonderful memories that I share with you that today was CH. TIMBERS’ MITOYA CONFIDENTIAL—CONNOR, last day with me.
At just 3 weeks shy of 15 years old, his body was in pain and could no longer hold him up. Connor was a stand out early on as a puppy, his carriage, attitude and structure had him placing in the breed ring at a very young age. He won breed and placed in group from the classes. Connor was a great ambassador for our breed, I remember having him at the state fair and he sat on his table, so proud and regal like the sentinel dog he was. Allowing the 100’s of people passing by to pet him, and loving every minute of the attention. In fact, Connor’s biggest contribution to my breeding program was his temperament, passing on his outgoing attitude and fear of nothing. He was a vibrant healthy dog until just the past few months.
Connor leaves behind a full legacy:
BISS CH. FFT C’est la vie
CH. Que Sais Je
CH. Sine Qua Non
CH. FFT It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere
CH. IndianHill’s Josie
CH. Mi Tex Ups Lights Up Redd
CH. Do You Know Jill
CH. Timbers’ For Your Eyes Only
CH. Timbers’ Confidentially Yours
CH. Timbers’ SheTsabo U Can Do Magic
CH. FFT Nordik Rose On Golden Pond
Nordik Rose FFT My Fair Lady
FFT Nordik Rose Shaken Not Stirred
and I’m sure I am missing someone.
Connor was out of BISS CH. Woodlyn’s Dust Buster and CH. Timbers’ Applause Applause. He was born at a time when things for Debby and me were at a turning point in our breeding program and I owe a lot to Connor for keeping me in the world of lhasas.
Connor was a easy dog to live with and my kennel feels empty without his presence.
I did realize today that my 4 week old puppies are great great granddaughters of Connor.

Patience, Persistence and Gratitude..the Ella and Danba puppies
Posted: May 13, 2012 Filed under: FFT Lhasa Apsos, Gompa Lhasa Apsos 7 CommentsThe Tibetan word for patience – Zopa. For persistence – Nan Tan. And gratitude – Drin Lan. On so many levels, those are key factors in regards to this litter. Ergo, their names. We call them Zopa, Tanner and Landin.
