For the cat lovers .... Koda Bear and Ember posing for their Christmas pictures.

Pictures of Ace from his first weekend of agility competition! (September 24-25) Photos by Judy Jo Drake.

Paul Thober scores BIG at the Topsfield Fair!! He created this pine cone wreath this summer while up at
Lake Winnipesaukee, all hand wired to the frame ... no hot glue whatsoever!! The judges were impressed ...

Vacation Pictures!! We were up at beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee. From left to right:
Ace and Thaya on a tube ........ Ace dock diving! He actually ran and jumped for the first time ... Thaya showing good form

Some more pictures: a view with a thunderstorm approaching, a sunny day from our porch, and our restored 1985 Whaler.

We finally had a successful agility weekend in May! Thaya finished a title, so here she is with her first place and "new title" ribbons.
Photos courtesy of Judy Jo Drake - friend, fellow agility competitor and an incredible photographer!

Here is a picture to show the size of our Maine Coon cat, Koda Bear. He's not even stretched out, just as long as
my arm will reach down to hold his back legs!

DOCK DIVING at the Topsfield Fair!!
Thaya gets to do one of her favorite activities in an actual competition. Here she is on October 10, 2010 ... The crowds really got into it - that's the second picture. Thaya is really in that picture - look carefully under the word 'Canin'.

As you read on about the border collies, the other Thober family dogs have felt left out. So in all fairness, here is a picture of Gary & Jack atop Cadillac Mountain in Maine. Jack lives with Daisy, another dachshund who is almost 15 years young!
