Occasionally people tell me “Oh man, it’s just a dog.”, or... “Well, that’s a lot of money for just a dog.”
They see the travel distance, the time and money spent for just a dog and they don’t understand.
Hour after hour passes and sometimes my only company is just a dog.
Some of my proudest moments were with just a dog, and also my saddest moments came by just a dog.
But in those dark days, it was the gentle touch of just a dog that made me strong and motivated to keep going.
Just a dog brings me pure friendship, trust and perfect happiness. Just a dog brings compassion and patience with me, which makes me a better person.
Just a dog, I’m up early, I’ll make long walks and I look forward to the future.
For people like me, it’s not “just a dog”.
But an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams for the future, many a happy memory from the past and the pure joy for the present.

While half-brother Hank was busy at a Scent Work trial Miss Charlie got to find some rats instead at the SchaSam Farms Barn Hunt trial in Stanwood, and she had a blast!!!

Over the course of 2 days Miss Charlie Bear (CH Sparta’s Going Mach 2️⃣ With Her Hair On Fire) not only earned her Barn Hunt Novice title but she did it with 2 High In Class awards, and on the 3rd run she was 2nd in class, what a way to finish a title ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥!!!
We had such a fun weekend and can’t wait until we get a chance to do it again!!! Thank you to all involved in an engaging weekend!!!

Charlie is out of our Top Gun litter (Thor x Schatzi) 💖.
