Wink was born on October 2, 2018.
She was truly a "GODWINK" in every sense of the word. 2018 was a
tough year for John and myself, both of us being diagnosed with
serious (but treatable) illnesses and John undergoing an 8-hour
major surgery.
We had our names in for a puppy to
be born in California, which didn't work out as the mom didn't
conceive. John's surgery was October 15, 2018, just 13 days
prior. Wink's litter was born in Minnesota; we had no knowledge
of her birth.
Both John and I were very
disappointed that we were not to get a California pup and
consequently called Kaye Fuller to ask if she knew of any field
golden litters available. This was the day before Thanksgiving
2018. Kaye said "well yes" Roger is right now in Minnesota
picking up a puppy sired by his Sudden Sandy Max***MH and a
really great field girl, "Brassfire Echo of Scandia**MH.
We immediately called the breeder
and he had female pups for us to choose from. We were on our way
at 5:30 am the day after Thanksgiving. So - her name ... "High
Times GODWINK".
11/26/18: She picked us
within five minutes of our arrival, and the rest is history. One
month later Wink was in route to Texas with us for her first
winter training trip.
5/18/19: Wink came back
home to Illinois ready and willing to earn her JH, getting her
first 2 legs at 6 1/2 months old and finishing her JH at 7
months.
7/8/18: Wink is now 9
months old ... Finished with her back pile work on land and
water and her two handed back drill with overs added and is
ready to progress to a 4 sq. "T". Also doing land and water
doubles.
WINK CAME WHEN WE NEEDED HER
MOST
A CLEAR JOY TO OUR WORLD!
