Kathryn

I often get asked if I stay in touch with my previous handlers that have worked at the kennel. The answer is a definite 'yes'. Some I am in touch with more then others, but I mostly keep in touch with all of them. All of them pretty much have a standing invite to come out to the kennel and visit - this past week our '07 - '08 handler Kathryn, her husband Pete, and their 2 dogs (Bean - who is from here - and Nokomis) took us up on that invite.

I had spent the night at their place in Detroit (as other handlers - like Helen and Richard will tell you having me show up on your doorstep is one of the hazards of having worked here at the kennel!) while I was in the area a few years back, but this was the first time Kathryn had been back to visit us.

We had a great time catching up and playing with the dogs!

Beautiful dogs, all of them! Did any of the NW family remember her? I think it would be so wonderful to be able to be a handler @ NW and even more fun to come back & visit.
Looks like Kathryn fit right back in with Dasher & Bean pulling her.
Hope you all had a good visit.
