U-ACH U-CDX Czarcrest's Carefree Chloe CDX RE OA OAJ MXP MJP OF Versatile Dog ("Chloe") crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on Monday, June 20, after a brief illness.  Chloe was such a happy girl, just like her mother, Charlotte.  She lived each day of her 15 years to the fullest and had many endearing qualities. 

She loved doing agility just like her "Uncle Woody" and tolerated obedience as long as she got plenty of treats.  She will be greatly missed by her owners, Carol and Gordon Walker.  Rest in peace, sweet Chloe.

For the third consecutive year, the adult medial day care where my husband attends invited me to bring my Westies.  It has been a big hit with the patients in the past and the dogs have a lot of fun as well.  This year we were joined by Susan Chapman and Hope.  I brought Darla and Bryce who were there last year as young puppies.
