  • Hmmm....  Apparently there was nothing going on in September?  No wait, the web page was just being ignored.....
  • Rio & I went to Finland and played at the FCI World Championships.  She did really well, posting two clean rounds and helping the Canadian Large Dog Team of Susan Garrett & Encore and Lynda Orton-Hill & Spirit place 8th overall.  The best showing by a Canadian Large dog team ever.  You can see some pictures and read more about the adventures at:  http://blog.tntbordercollies.com
  • September also had us tearfully saying good bye to Bo-Tyne Jagger, the sire of many TNT puppies.  We will miss him greatly, but hope that a little bit of him will live on in Erin, MagZ, Cagen, Fusion, Magnum, Prank, Ripley, Turf, Smash, Yahoo and Glaze.
  • Happy 7th Birthday to Rio (September 29th) - She got a flight home from Finland for her birthday!
