Spice 10/05/2005-5/28/2021

Tom and Terry said goodbye to their girl Spice who made the transition to the rainbow bridge on May 28th. Spice-Girl as she was affectionately known, was the last the OGs and writing this post is difficult to say the least. The original crew – the 8 dogs that started it all for NASDOG - will always hold a special place in the hearts of the NASDOG Family, and to lose the remaining original team member truly marks the end of an era.

Spice made her flyball debut back in 2006 on PVWT and when NASDOG split off she became one of the Team’s first height dogs, albeit a pretty tall one! Without her the team would have had to jump 14” back in the early years of flyball, so she was certainly a lifesaver, especially as the team was getting up and running. Her flyball career ran from 2006 until her retirement from the sport in 2013 when Terry decided to retire her after a couple of chasing incidents – Spice was a magnet for dogs that wanted to chase other dogs! Spice amassed over 22K points in her career and earned her ONXY title in 2012. Her last official planned event (she made a ‘relief’ appearance a week later covering a few runs) was at the Franklin County Fairgrounds, her team’s all-time favorite place to play, where she ran Vets on a team that included not only her sister Shadow, but several other Region 13 Vets, all of which will be greeting her on the other side of the bridge to play some flyball.

Spice’s sport career continued well after her flyball retirement in 2013. She went on to become an awesome little agility dog and was total rock-star on the agility field earning 3 C-ATCH’s and a CT-ATCH during her agility career! She also continued to attend team practices long after her flyball retirement to help other dogs learn passing and was a cheerleader at events right up until her passing. And of course, she was forever the “fun-police” at home with her brothers Nike and Jack, always keeping the boys in line.

She will certainly be missed by her teammates and her housemates. Dog-speed Spice-Girl.

Tex 01/04/04-05/07/21

Highwater Vortex, or Tex as we affectionately referred to him, crossed over peacefully to the rainbow bridge on May 7th with Val by his side. At 17 years old her certainly lived a long and fruitful life filled with flyball, agility and barn hunt.

Tex debuted in flyball in 2006 with CTFF and went on to run with Infurno and eventually found his final flyball family with NASDOG Racing. He ran his last race in 2018 and amassed over 60K points during his 12-year flyball career earning his FGDCH 60K and his Iron Dog title for racing 10 consecutive years. He was a little spitfire of a 7” height dog and could run in any position and be passed by anything big or small. He also ran on many Open teams over the years and was often times double listed, and multiple times called upon, to run extra at tournaments. He was also great at barking and hu***ng legs at tournaments. 😉

Tex was also an accomplished agility dog earning his AAD in USDAA agility and in his later years was a rat-machine at barnhunt earning his RATCHX2 and C8S titles and making barnhunt his official retirement hobby.

Tex left his mark on many over the years – smoker’s cough and all. 😉 Dog-speed Sexy-Texy.
