I am SOOO sorry to say that yesterday in Albuquerque at the obedience shows, Canisphere's Wind Storm..AKA.Stormy died in a bizzare set of events. Stormy, who was already CD, CGC, RE, a certified therapy dog, and in Albuquerque to earn her CDX bolted after a rabbit and was hit and killed by a car who didn't even stop to see what had happened. She was owned and loved by US ARMY Colonel Marita Patterson. Stormy was her personnal companion, protection and obedience dog. This was one of those "once in a life time dogs". Marita is not on this list, I bought Stormy from a breeder in Canada. She was not a conformation dog but was the most incredible bitch I have ever known. Only after much persuasion did I let Stormy go to Marita who totally loved and adored her. We are all totally devastated.
