GOOD NEWS from Nova Scotia!
Hope that you had fun at your show!! We had a good weekend in PEI. We attended the Top Atlantic Puppy Awards Saturday night.
This show was by invitation only to all of the puppy group winners in the 4 Atlantic provinces. Little Miss Mylie pulled off a 4th place
in the herding group for the awards!!!!! This was judged by a panel of judges...Collin was talking to one of the judges the next day and
she said that if it would have been up to just her that Mylie would have placed much higher but we were happy with a 4th!! This was our
last show of the season but I would have to say that Mylie had a good year!!!! Two championship titles, a BPIG win, 4 group placings
in the regular CKC shows and now this...I also just got her champion certificate from the CKC in the mail today:) plus her CGN certificate!!!
Mylie is a very special girl and we love her lots!!!
CONGRATULATIONS Angela, Collin & Mylie! We are very proud!

CH Thornapple Like A Rock "Chevy"
(file photo) pictured with Lincoln's older brother Zachary
Just wanted to tell you another amazing story about our amazing angel. Lincoln got tubes in his ears 3 weeks ago after 6 ear infections.
(
many of them Chevy diagnosed) Four days after getting the tubes, Chevy was hovering over Lincoln again. I thought that maybe he
sensed the tubes or something. He kept licking Lincoln on the right side of his head...and he was making sure we noticed him. Within a
couple of days, Lincoln's ear started draining and the doctor said it was an ear infection and to start putting antibiotic drops in his ears.
I thought, "Wow...Chevy did it again!"But, it didn't end there. Chevy kept pretty close to Lincoln. Lincoln ended up getting a pretty sick.
His fever got up to 104, and he wouldn't eat or drink. After doing many tests over several days, the doctor took a sample from in
Lincoln's ear. They grew the sample over the weekend and called me back in the office last Monday. Lincoln had a staff infection in his
right ear. The doctor admitted him to the hospital. They pumped the little guy full of fluids and antibiotics. He is doing much better now.
Chevy truly amazes me. He has a special bond with Lincoln...and Lincoln loves to love on Chevy!
Ellen, are you sure you saw Chevy being born? I'm not sure he came from Bianca (Ch Thornapple White Diamonds)
...I think an angel brought him straight from heaven!  Hugs, Christa

Chevy is a 5 year cancer survivor! Chevy is a very special Tapple Angel! Thank you for loving Chevy Christa!
