Year in Review
I thought I'd start this entry with my favorite picture taken this year of myself with the dogs. That day was memorable as the snow was so hard I could walk on the surface. The thick crust of snow was also on top of our enormous hedges. Bridgit had walked up on top of the hedge and I didn't realize until we were out in the field that she was stuck. Pete heard the commotion and came out to have a look. This is what he saw:
Little Bridgit high in the air on a nearly six foot hedge! After Pete showed her how to get down, this was Bridgie catching up to us in the field! I have nicknamed Pete..."Paparazzi Pete" for having his camera handy and taking pictures of us. 
The great thing about having a website and now a blog, is that I can go back and see what happened during the year. It is like a journal; it helps me remember all the details! With Cocoa finishing her Canadian Championship over the weekend, I thought I'd look back and see what titles the Laureate bred/co-bred dogs achieved this year:
*Obedience Trial Championship for OTCh Laureate Delicate Crystal, Am CD, CGN (owned by Lynda Morrissey)
*NADAC Top Ten again for Laureate Dancin' Chimney Sweep (owned by Lin Battaglia)
*American Championship for Am Ch. PaRay's Make A Splash (owned by co-breeders Tray Pittman/Paul Flores)
*American Championship for Am/Can Ch. Laureate Givalia (Pittman/Flores)
*American Championship for BIS/BISS/BPIS/BPISS Am/Can Ch. Shelhaven Pop'n Up At Talisker (owned by Sharon Ayers)
*Canadian Championship for Am/Can Ch. Laureate Givalia (Pittman/Flores)
*Canadian Championship for Ch. Laureate LaPerla (Aston/Culumovic)
*Canadian Championship for Ch. Laureate Jivara (Aston/Culumovic)
*ROMC for BISS Am/Can Ch. Laureate Gabrielle, ROMC
A pretty good tally. Thank you to the owners and co-breeders for all your efforts.
With the Holiday Season well upon us, we wish all our friends the happiest of Holidays.

A very nice year review.
We do so much through the year that it is indeed difficult to remember everything at the end, that is also why i think a blog is a great idea.
It sounds nice to do a post with a yearly review, i think i will do the same ihihihih.
I wish you all the best for 2008 with that special "plus" that you know what it is :):)
Greetings from Portugal

Congratulations Kim and Peter, on all of your 2008 accomplishments. You breed such lovely Shelties. I have always been a fan.
I love looking at the beautiful photos you take.
Mom liked your pictures - I have some relatives from Laureate. My dad is Kent - Aynsworth, and my mom is Lorna - Saranac.
your pal Morgan
