Afghans By Rodin

Well time for another long awaited update. Life around here has been quite busy this year so I don't get to update as often as I had hoped. In the future I will make a greater effort to keep this updated regularly.
Now onto the updates...
We are sad to announce we have lost two of our precious hounds later summer. Our sweet Hilary succumbed to cancer and not a month later we lost her kennelmate Spencer. He had been ill for some time and when Hilary left him it was more than he could handle. He passed quietly at home with us one summer afternoon. This house is not the same any longer. Their absence is still felt daily. It's as if a part of our lives has changed with their passing.
On the happy side, we have added a new little one to the pack. Caravan kennels has allowed us to own one of their Coastwind babies. A little brindle domino boy. I will have pictures, info and pedigree up soon.
Our Italian girl Talara continues to mature into a wonderful young lady. As soon as we get her groomed better I will put up more up-to-date pictures of her and finally get her pedigree working.
Our little human puppy Isabella continues to grow and charm us with ways. She is almost 16 months old now, bright, intelligent, extremely precocious and just a treasure to have aorund the house. We haven't done alot of dog shows this year as we had Hilary and Spencer to deal with and waiting for Belly to grow up a little. The last few times we traveled with her she was not accepting of the overnight hotel stays. Hopefully as she nears 2 years of age things will get easier for all of us.
We hope to present our current clan at the Nutmeg Specialty in Connecticut 2009. After that we hope to begin in earnest showing our two girls Lara and Camille.
