Missed

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the unexpected passing of "Splash" Wakemup Run'n in the River CDX AX OAJ, owned by Vicki Schmidt. In their short time together, Vicki and Splash were a wonderful team that enjoyed each other immensely. An accomplished team, a wonderful trainer, and a wonderful, silly dog. Our heart goes out to Vicki at this tragic loss.

The take off!

Almost there!

A perfect landing if your name is "Splash"!!

Splash collapsed suddenly while chasing a bumper and playing with his mom. He never revived and is not believed to have suffered. We should all enjoy life as much as Splash did.

Dancer waits patiently while drying off after his swim. (No- his wonderful parents do NOT let him ride loose in the back of the truck) :)

Dancer at age 4. Dancer has normal heart, elbows and eyes but has mild unilateral hip displaysia.

Dancer was diagnosed with amelanocytic melanoma in the winter of 2012. Surgery was performed and he enjoyed a happy month or so more of life. He left us on 2/13/2012. He will be missed greatly by the Jones family.
