Chance is a therapy dog at the Nobleboro Central School and goes to work one day a week.  He has four students read to him once a week (with a couple of alternates) from September through June.  He loves his job - and when that red scarf gets put around his neck - he knows he's at work - no playing.  These are children that are not chosen because they need help reading - they are chosen because they are in need of a little care because of their lives.  The dramatic difference in these children from September to June is incredible.  The best job I (and Chance) have ever had.

Ciska and Provo announce the birth of a precious and only little boy on Oct. 17 at almost midnight!   Mother and son are doing well in GA, and Daddy Provo in Texas is passing out cigars (or were those bones?) to all his friends.

UPDATE!! We did top last year with 30 Stabys attending our gathering in Harvard, MA. Absolutely amazing! One is missing from the photo, but was there late in the day. Lee did four evaluations and five CD tests and took lots of inventories. Guests brought delicious pot luck food and a great time was had by all. Great to see all our dogs running off leash and completely at ease with each other. We had six puppies there too, including the newest, a Wetterhoun female named Stockli. They were quite adventurous and it was a good socializing time for all.

Save the date!   We had 23 Stabys last year . . . let’s see if we can top that TY!  If you need your Staby evaluated, there will be an opportunity for that also.

Rina and Gander can be proud!   The Gacks are busy raising this litter of four –3 boys and one little girl.   Enjoy every moment.
