ZAC
June 29, 1993 - January 26, 2010
It is a very sad day for us today as we said our final good-bye to Zac. Zac and Howard were an unstoppable team for so many years. The two were so close that it is hard to think of one without the other. Zac had a terrific life. We are very lucky to have shared our lives with him for almost 17 years. He loved flyball and frisbee, but most of all he loved Howard
and Howard loved him.
Zac you gave us all you had to give
and we will miss you always

HAPPY 16 1/2th BIRTHDAY ZAC!

AAC Canadian National Championship News
August 3, 2009
It was another exciting Nationals in Ottawa. Again the weather provided a full range of challenges from stifling humidity, blazing sun, rain and thunderstorms. We all painfully felt Bogey's absence, no one more so than Craig and Robin Eagleson, but Bogey was definately there in spirit. Some other competitors even dedicated their runs to him in the Steeplechase finals. I found myself tearing up several times, but we all pressed on.
Tink had two phenomenal Steeplechase runs that moved her right into the finals. Her final run was also amazing. One of the judges was sitting beside me and he kept saying "wow, that is an amazing dog, look at her go!!". Tink placed 5th out of a class of over a hundred of the topdogs from all across Canada and won some money to boot! Way to go Tink!! There were lots of clean runs from HiQ dogs. Fergus did some fantastic runs on very difficult courses. I have not seen all the results yet, but he did well all weekend! Roo had some great runs too! Tribble amazed me once again, despite me making a goof on one course that cost us dearly she still was able to save the day by running all the other courses cleanly(including Gamblers in a thunderstorm) and ending up in 4th place overall!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE COMPETITORS
