This photo was taken while we still lived in the UK and lived on the Air Base.
Behind our backyard was the runway, and at the time Mark was flying with the 21st Special Opserations Squadron,so we were inspired to give Barney a name having to do with flying--we could not have imagined the heights our Barney would take our kennel to...
He has truly been our Top Gun!
We present a photo montage of Barney, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren...
Next is Casey, Ch Darkwind's Heatwave, PT, CD, NA, CGC. The blue and white dog is her son Scorch, Ch Darkwind's Mercury Rising.
Scorch is graduating from Pet Therapy Training and Casey has just come out of a tunnel doing agility.
