A note from Ralph's friend Annie:
Ralph is Ch. Drama's Ralph Lauren. He was a top Parti color cocker Spaniel special in 2005. He was my very best friend and constant companion.Where you saw Annie is where you saw Ralph. We were starting our obedience career when at age 4 he was diagnosed with autoimmune and with in a week we had lost him. It has only been a few months since he's been gone and it is not getting any easier. I want to thank the folks at Wag-N-TrainLLc for the opportunity to showcase some of the prettiest pets I've seen. My friends, family and customers for all their votes especially my big brother,Dave, a big Ralph supporter, Sande,Kathy Haley and my daughter Jen.
Thanks a million

Entry 8 - "Smokey" - Chance is the mahogany sable/white (entry 7 above). He is 6 years old and came into our lives to help fill the void of our first sheltie Laddie who went to the Bridge. He is a pretty laid back guy.
Smokey is the blue merle and is going to be celebrating his 4th whelpday at the end of this month. Chance is actually Smokeys Uncle. Chances litter sister Nana is Smokeys mama.
Smokey is a very hyper little guy, always on the go. From the day I brought him home he has been pushing Chance around. Chance is a very indulgent Uncle and lets him get away with it.
When I took these pictures, Smokey was modeling his new Milkbone bandana. And Chance was just being his usual handsome self.

Entry 9 - "Dewey" (sheltie) and "Joey"(silver fox) grew up together in the house with other dogs and cats. These two "uncommon" best friends love to romp, chase, and wrestle in our field together, especially on this snowy day in February, 2008. Photo was snapped just before another "high-speed chase"and tackle.

Entry 11 - "KOA" This is Koa, our Sheltie boy, at 1 year with one of his brother's binkys in his mouth (he has human twin brothers). Just to prove he didn't feel left out and what was theirs was also his since he was there first. Koa loved his baby brothers especially when they had food all over their hands and mouths. Looks like the binky was working and lulling him to sleep.

Entry 12 - "KOA" This is Koa, our 1 1/2 year old sheltie boy with his brother Keola. I love how Koa is watching Keola trying to crawl...as if he is saying "come on you can do it". Koa loved being around his twin brothers especially after lunch or dinner when there was still food on their hands, mouths, and clothes. Snack time for Koa.

Entry 13 - "Badger" To anyone who ever said shelties won't swim I present: Badger! Here he is at eight months, paddling around Fairy Lake, Montana. You think that's something, you should see him riding his horse!
