Our hearts and prayers go out to Dale, Shannon & Madigan Gannon

on the loss of your beloved companion, Blue.

***In Memory of Thornapple Blue Lightening CDX***

Here is a picture of Blue at the ASCA Nationals, unfortunately my eyes are closed but she looks great.

She earned her CDX title in March on this year. She won approximately, five high in trials overall

and eight or nine high in trial Aussie finishes in her short life. She was normally always in the top three

places at AKC and ASCA shows. I am sure she appreciates the recognition. Dale
