I finally heard last night after pestering everyone I could think of...... Our Konigin's Great Balls Afire, TC, CGC, TDI aka Jerry Lee won the Goodwill Ambassador for 2005! Jerry Lee had well over 600 Therapy visits in his career.......the kids were his great love, and especially the special needs kids. He loved the nursing homes and all his grandparents........... He had his own Fan Club at the VA Hospital among the Vietnam Dog Handlers.........many were the tears he licked off their faces as they told us about their German Shepherds. I am so in awe of him and the way he walked thru his time on earth. I can not believe that God blessed me with such a friend and companion. He passed his wonderful temperament down to his kids, Grand kids and now Great Grand kids.....giving me 3 generations now of Therapy Dogs. Jerry Lee's son, Little Richard will go to the Nationals with me to accept the award for his Dad. Rick has been an active Therapy Dog since he was 6 months old and started working with the special needs kids.....he also has 10 points, both majors! Jerry Lee was out of Abraxas Airleas v Konigin and sired by Ch Clayfield's Norwest Eastwood.
