Background Information
Pedigree
Mr. Orange (now “Booker”) went to SW Wyoming for Search & Rescue. Miss Green (now “Addie”) went to Sundance to be a service dog and therapy dog and to compete in nosework. Miss Pink (now “Masie”) and Mr. Blue (“Asher”) went to Colorado to be therapy dogs. Miss Brown (now “Ellie”) went to Pennsylvania to be a therapy dog. I kept Miss Yellow (now “Dakuya”) for nosework competition, therapy dog work and hopefully breeding. Mr. Purple, whom I’ve been calling “Packer” leaves February 3rd for southern Colorado to be a cadaver dog. He joins half-sister Roxanne (TT litter) and half-brother Ducati (YY litter) on the team.

June 24: “Some old friends visited this week. Booker was sooooo good with them. Very gentle and calm. He’s got his first wilderness safety class with a local daycare next week. Just like Riker, he’s gonna be teaching lots of kids how to be safe in the woods. He’s a big sweet gentle giant and I think he’s gonna be good at this.”
July 1: “Booker did his first wilderness safety class for the local daycare. He did a good job, all the little kiddos got found, nobody got eaten!”
Asher (Celhaus Always Love & Justice of Eagle Vista) at 2 years 2 months and Radik (Celhaus Radik of Eagle Vista), 6 years 5 months

Name Story: Aliza is Hebrew for “joyful” and Akemi is Japanese for “bright & beautiful.” David is Jewish and I am half Japanese.
“Maisie is doing great! Attached a few photos including birthday yesterday. One of the pics is her on her back – she does this every time she is ready for a walk – it’s hilarious!”
Addy (Celhaus Angel of Faith CGC NE) at 2 years
the former Miss Green
Addy joins Jamboree from the JJ litter (her aunt).

“Addie enjoying her birthday.” Laurie included a photo of her at 2 months when she took her home.

Addy celebrated her birthday a few days early by earning her first title at our nosework trial. She qualified in Novice Exteriors.
Ellie (Celhaus An Answer to Prayer CGC) at 2 years
the former Miss Brown
“Thank you for the lovely birthday message. I just got Ellie weighed and she is now 63.2 lbs. I made her doggy ice cream for her birthday. It just so happened that her new elk antler came in the mail on her birthday, so she wanted to open it. Pictures herein attached. Have a wonderful day ‘Grandma'”.
Ellie at 1 year 9 months
“Here’s something we can both smile about. Ellie will not chew on her non-rawhide chewies. She did when she was teething, but no longer. What she has done with them is put them throughout the house. She will check on them but nothing more. Of course I just leave them where they are as they are not in the way of anything. There is also an old knuckle bone she once had buried in the yard. She brought it inside and put in its spot in the basement. Also, she won’t play with her old toys. She just wants them in her basket.”
Asher (Celhaus Always Love & Justice of Eagle Vista) at 2 years
the former Mr. Blue
Name Story: Asher is Hebrew for “happiness.”
Asher joined Radik from the RR litter.
Photo 1: “Asher’s 2nd birthday!”

Dakuya (Celhaus Always Give Thanks) at 1 year 2 months
the former Miss Yellow, whom I kept
See Dakuya’s page
Name Story: Dakuya (pronounced “DAK yuh”, with the accent on the first syllable), is the Ukrainian word for thanks. In February our parish began adopting Ukrainian refugees. Our refugees’ gratitude for being safe, and able to sleep all night without the fear of Russian bombs hitting their homes, has made me more grateful for all the blessings of living in this country. Their calm focus on rebuilding their lives here, despite having left everything except what they could carry in one suitcase, has sure made me examine the little things that I whine about. All this inspired me to give a name to my new pup that will remind me to be grateful for all blessings, and to LOOK for them.
