Our little Duet took a trip to the Kansas City area for a romantic rendezvous with this handsome fellow:
Ch Elyria Alerek It's About Me Harmony - "Jack"
( BIS SBIS AM CAN DC Sporting Field's Jazz Fest, SC x Ch. Alereks White
Oleander )

Jack is bred and owned by Kathy Rasmussen, Jo L. Meister, and Al Miniero. He lives with Aimee Rasmussen McMaster
and her husband.
Our heartfelt thanks to all of Jack's people, especially Kathy and Aimee, and to our co-breeder, Debi Adams,
for making this breeding possible!

Work it, Jack! |

Don't tell Jack he doesn't belong to Aimee - |

|
or that SHE doesn't belong to HIM! |

Sometimes Duet's sweet face seems to ask, "What in the world is going on inside of me?" I can tell that she feels odd
stirrings, and I wonder how much she understands about what is happening. When she gets that worried expression, my heart
just melts. I can't resist those big eyes! She's getting plenty of TLC. Of course, we would never spoil her. Never. ;-)

Fast forward to 2013! Duet's Fab Four are happy, wonderful whippets, enjoying the
good life: Pup 1: "Homer" is now "Kevin", Jade's October Sky. He's a personal service dog and cuddle-buddy for
his mom in Oregon. Pup 2: "O'Dell" is now "Quigley", Jade's Rocket Boy. He's owned by co-breeder Debi Adams and
Karen Hilfiker in Oregon, and is doing well in AKC shows there. Quigley has his own page of brags here.Pup 3: "Annabel", Longrun's October Ode To Joy, is hard at work in Oklahoma, keeping
her whippet "big brother" in line and making her people smile. Pup 4: "Felicity" is now "Maggie", Longrun's Sweet
Magnolia At Bombey. She's a happy little queen of the house with owner Reggie Nesbit in Michigan, and is getting him back
into the whippet ring at AKC shows.
