Taylors Tuff N Nuff Although Jeff has had ACDs for many years, this girl was my first AKC cattle dog. She had a rough beginning to life, and then a friend rescued her and brought her to us, and we couldn't help but take her home. It took her a while to realize that things were going to be looking up, but she never failed to show her love and gratitude for giving her a better life. After being my constant companion for almost 12 years, Sky crossed the bridge May 14, 2008, at just over 13 years of age. Although she is no longer by our side, she will always be in our hearts, and I will miss her every day. She came home to rest, where we can watch over her every day, as she has watched over us. |

Griffith's Ringo Wildfire Our beloved friend and inspiration. Ringo crossed the bridge in 1996. No other dog has made an impact on us, quite like this one. Jeff and Ringo were inseperable from the time Ringo was 6 weeks old, until his death shortly before his 13th birthday. Ask Jeff any day, and he will fondly tell you of Ringo climbing ladders to join him while he was working on the roof, or the countless critters that he found in the bed of his truck, being held prisoner under the truck box until Jeff could get there and admire Ringo's handwork (although he wasn't real happy about the skunks). You would also hear of the time Ringo changed his boss's mind about this breed forever by saving him from the receiving end of a charging bull when his trusty ATV stalled out. Ringo was half way to him before anyone else knew anything was wrong, and he grabbed the bull by the nose and turned his butt right around........way to go Ringo! In the short year or so that I knew Ringo, he changed my view of this breed from distrust due to a few bad instances, to admiring and respecting this breed. There will never be another like him. He is still very deeply loved and missed. |

Red Cloud Wild Cheyenne Cheyenne was Ringo's dear lady, and constant companion. She had a rough start in life, but found her way to Jeff and Ringo, and had happy years thereafter, chasing cows and rounding up stray duck eggs that were laid in the yard. She joined Ringo at the Rainbow Bridge in 1999. Rest assured, there will be no racoons stealing cat food on the porches of heaven when you get there! |
