Abbiejay Dreamquest At Inoby

Showtimes Travlin’ Man at Rushbottom x Kapia Skylark at Winserne

19th November 98 – 5th March 08
Quest was my third Aussie and my third Travis son, he was a fantastic dog with the most wonderful temperament. He was to follow in his brother and half brothers footsteps and compete in Agility but Quest was never really interested! He was very fast but would much rather mug everyone he met than complete an Agility round,
then he first started competing he was known to leave the ring and lick the spectators or head straight for the judge!! At the age of three he had to retire from full height due to injury but he continued to compete in Allsorts classes and would run for his Auntie Liz who was his favourite person!!

Sadly at the age of 8 Quest started to have problems with his bowel and as the months went on he became worse, he developed a secondary spinal problem and after a year long fight we had to let him go aged only 9.

He was a special dog and is greatly missed by myself and my mum, gone but never forgotten.

“Chino”

02.07.2003- 26.01.2009

Chino was born number one out of eight puppies from Grits first litter with Reno, and little did I know how special this litter was going to be.
Chino fell on his feet when he went to live with his mammy Sue and her husband Martin and boys Alex and Jo. They gave Chino a wonderful loving and active home, and this boy wanted for nothing. He competed in open obedience and flyball competitions, and was known with great affection as the Anchor man in the local flyball team, as he never missed catching the ball.

Chino became unwell after Christmas and within a week of being diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Leukaemia it became clear that this short fight for life was lost. So its with great sadness that Sue has said goodbye to her Chino today. There will be heartache and tears, but I am sure as time heals Sue and her family will look back and remember Chino and smile.

Thinking about all of you
A big thank you to Mandie Gibson for giving Sue continued support
