R.I.P. Digger

Today is a sad day. A fellow Manchester, Ch Jumpstart Trick or Treat, or as we all knew him Digger, passed away suddenly early Sunday morning. Digger was a faithful companion to his humans and will be sorely missed.

His human mom Cindy and Digger competed in agility together, and they are one of the teams that inspired HM to get me involved in agility. She saw them compete at the 2007 AAC Agility Nationals when it was in Ontario. They competed in the Veterans class.

They were an amazing team to watch, no matter the venue. Digger was up for any challenge and always performed with his whole heart.

Digger accomplished many things in his life, some of which include:

Canadian Championship (Ch)
Pre-Companion Dog (PCD)
Companion Dog (CD)
CKC Agility Dog Excellent (AgX)
AAC Masters Dog in all events
Competed at the AAC Nationals
A member of the SuperDogs Team
A member of the Glooscap Hotdogs Performance Team

Run fast and free at the Bridge Digger.

Fan Mail!

Hey pups! I started blogging over a year ago, and I am always happy when I get pups and people leaving me comments and knowing that something I've posted has resonated with someone in the blogosphere.

I've received some pawesome products to try, HM has gotten some books to read...and I've even had some fan mail!!

YES! Last week I received a furtastic email from Ollie, a 5 year old Mannie from Atlanta:

Hello, Simba! My name is Micka's Oliver Wendell Holmes (but you can call me Ollie). I'm a 5 year old Standard Manchester Terrier. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA with my mom and my sister, Angie. My mom's a two-legger. My sister is a 3 year old Doberman Pinscher. Mom's at work right now, so I've snuck on to her computer to play on the internet. I love searching for other Manchester Terriers online. That's how I found your blog! I just loved your "edumacation" about Dobermans, Chesters and MinPins. Every time we go to the dog park, people ask if Angie is my MOTHER. UGH! Mom has to show them my grey muzzle and explain that I'm older, and that I'm a pure bred, AKC registered Manchester Terrier. No one seems to know what we Chesters are! Mom has even made me a T-Shirt that says "I am NOT a MinPin!" But I really hate to wear it. I prefer to show off my glossy black coat.

Anyway, I just wanted to say "Hi!" and to thank you for the blog. I'll bookmark it on Mom's computer - maybe when she finds it, she'll send a link to all her friends and "edumacate" them, too!

Best,
Ollie (or, "Justice Holmes" - that's what Mom calls me when I do something naughty!)

PS: I've attached some photos of me and my sister, Angie. I hope you like them!

Thanks Ollie!! It's really pawesome to hear from the pups that read my blog, so don't hesitate to leave me a comment, or to email me!!
