Teka and Ruby

Ruby’s Coarsegold Running Rebel SH, “Teka”

Teka went home to her family about a year ago. I did this drawing before she left. She stayed with us while training. During her time here she completed her AKC Junior and Senior Hunter titles.

Her mother “Ruby” also stayed with us years ago. This is the drawing I did of Ruby when she was here.

This gallery is from Teka’s time with us. Click on the image to enlarge.

There’s gold under that rainbow.
The race is on! Teka.
Nothing gets a girl to roll in the grass like beautiful flowers.

Teka can’t wait for her turn. She stakes out my truck.

Very soon Kinta will be going home to Japan. It has been a wonderful year with him, as was our time with Teka and Ruby.

    • We’ve done this off and on over the years. In some cases we get to see the dogs again. With the dogs like Kinta that have gone to Japan we follow their careers on Facebook. Kinta will be especially hard, because he was here when Blitz passed and we both became particulary attached after that. Knowng he will be with our dear friends makes it easier.

  5. Tim you must have hard or maybe I should say strong heart as I probably could not let it go after a year. But maybe when you do it for a reason you manage. I always enjoy reading and watching your stories and pictures. Your drawings are very special. Hope you had some rest today… and enjoyed a good walk 🙂

  11. Gorgeous dogs, beautiful photographs and sketch, Tim. How fortunate the owners are to have such extensive training for their dogs. My husband and I have hunting dogs but we don’t hunt (although we have thought about it) so we don’t have working dogs. I assume it is quite demanding, the training you do, if it takes a year? Any tips for us novices? 🙂

    • Hi Terry. They are such a wonderful breed. It was easier when we had a big pack, but I think this time with Kinta will be the toughest one I’ve had to send home. He filled in for me when Blitz died. However, we know when we do this what the outcome is, so we are prepared. Still…..

      Give Sadie a scratch behind the ears for us. 🙂

  19. Reblogged this on Ta hendene til din kjære – se på dem og hold dem hardt Disse hendene skal du følge, leie og lede. Du skal få føle på varmen fra dem og kjenne en inderlig glede. De skal stryke deg og de skal holde rundt deg – de er ikke skapt for å såre i vrede For du skal ikke alene mer vandre. De skal klemme og kose og aldri klandre De skal skjerme deg for det du ikke selv ser. De skal elske og aldri forakte – bare hjelpe når du ber. Disse hendene skal jobbe for at dere skal få det godt De skal gi – og du skal takke for det du har fått. De skal tvinnes sammen i kjærlighet og være ømme og gode og et tegn på inderlighet Hendene du holder er sterke og unge De skal gjennom mye for din skyld når dagene er tunge De skal stryke og klemme og være gode og fromme De skal ruske i ditt hår og takke når dagen er omme Disse hendene skal følge deg gjennom livet. De skal holde fast ved deg og verne om samlivet De skal være hos deg når alle andre har gått De skal aldri slippe men holde fast og tørke tårer når du har grått. Hendene skal bære din ring med rette Den skal skinne og for alle berette Jeg elsker deg! – kan den bekjenne Det er bare en som har maken til denne En dag er hendene blitt ru og grå Hver fure og rynke forteller om livet som bak dere lå Dere kan minnes den dagen i dag – da et livslangt bånd Ble knyttet Og fra denne dag dere gikk Hånd i hånd..
