Sadie at 15 weeks

After losing Tula and with her daughter Lou being so very poorly after suffering from a spontaneous pneumothorax as a result of a large burst bullae, I had completely lost my mojo.

But out of the blue, and I wonder if it was fate, I was given an opportunity to have Sadie. When I was told her KC name, my heart skipped a beat. Thank you to Chan and Andre for this beautiful little girl. Photo above taken at 15 weeks.

Below, a casual shot of Sadie at 12 months of age, taken at a show by Stacy Steven (Cambrogan) — thank you.

Collie model presented at the British Collie Club Championship Show

Blown away to have received the above model at British Collie Club Championship Show March 2016. The model, made by Vic and Tim Griffiths, is of three sitting Collies, one of each colour.

Without my knowledge, the Rough and Smooth Collie exhibitors had been plotting a collection for some time in recognition for the work I do on Collielife and some of the other breed club websites, including publishing show results as they happen, which I couldn't do without the help of my roving reporters. Thank you everyone involved.

Happy days… Below photo taken March 2013 on a holiday in the Cotswolds.

From left — Ted aged 5, Tula just 12 months, Tilly 7 (almost 8) and in the front, Tara 9.5 years old. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Tara in March 2015 due to cancer. She was the “Lady of the Manor” and very sadly missed.

We lost Ted in October 2019 after a short, unexplained illness.
We said our goodbyes to Champion Tilly in March 2020, just a few months short of her 15th birthday.
