December

12/8/22: It is with a heavy heart that I send love and hugs to one of my wonderful puppy families who said goodbye to their beloved Blue. Blue was their first dog, their baby, and they gave her a life every breeder dreams of for one of their pups. Blue was two months shy of 16, a littermate to Fergus from the Magic x Jess litter. The 10 littermates are now all reunited at the bridge. Puppy families are the heart of a breeding program, and I always feel good knowing my puppies are in such loving homes. A lot of these families have become good friends, and I mourn every loss along with them. Shana and John also have Humphrey, a littermate to Luna and Dreyfus, and I hope he brings them some comfort at this time. Godspeed Blue, beautiful pink collar girl - you were much loved and will be deeply missed.

November

11/15/22: Luna delivered two beautiful puppy girls out of Salt Creek's Changing the Rules. We are looking forward to watching these babies grow. Tourney (ReiMur's One Shining Moment) is the puppy we kept out of this litter.

August

8/10/22: My beloved Fergus crossed the rainbow bridge after living a rich, full 15.5 years - he was much loved and is terribly missed. I feel lucky to have had this once-in-a-lifetime dog in my life and will carry him in my heart forever. See here for a tribute to Fergus.

1/6/22: Our beautiful Kelly, CH Fawnhaven Celtic Woman O'ReiMur RN JH WC VPM, crossed the rainbow bridge just shy of her 15th birthday. Kelly was co-bred and co-owned with Barb and Don Ironside. She was a littermate to Fergus and the dam of Larson. See Barb's tribute to Kelly below:

"CH Fawnhaven Celtic Woman O'ReiMur JH RN WC VPM. 2/22/07 - 1/6/22. Kelly didn't quite make it to her 15th birthday, but she gave it a good try. She was co-bred and co-owned with her 2nd mama, Darlene Pado.

Kelly finished her championship under Pluis Davern at the 2010 Regional Specialty during the National Specialty Events week. She had one litter of very accomplished pups, thus attaining her Versatile Producer of Merit award through the LRC, Inc.

She was definitely the leader of the pack and the other dogs always knew it. In her later years, here in Arizona, she loved laying out on the deck and getting hugs, pets and treats from everyone who walked by.

I'm sure Jerry was waiting for her today at the Rainbow Bridge and they are having a good time chasing each other around like they did when they were puppies.

RIP sweet girl."
