On April 28, 2006, I had the great pleasure of meeting Judy Guaraldo (owner of Himark Shelties) for the first time.  Here I am excitedly waiting for Judy to answer the door.  We have been good friends for 5 years, and I have bought 10 puppies from her, but we had never met until that day.  What a thrill!!!  It was a dream come true!

Here I am meeting Judy for the first time!!!

Judy holding OTCH Jackson.  Jackson has been nationally ranked in obedience for several years and has recently been the #2 Obedience Sheltie in the country!  He is also an agility star!  What an honor it was to finally meet him!!!  I am very proud that my Jazzie is one of his puppies!

Here is my dear friend Celesta with some of the Himarks!  Celesta and her husband John were very kind to drive me to Palm Harbor so I could visit Judy!  (By the way, they bought a Himark, Gemini, 12 years ago!)

Me & Judy! It was truly one of the best days of my life getting to meet Judy (owner of Himark Shelties) after 5 years and 10 puppies!!!  Thanks, Judy, for your hospitality and for making my visit so memorable!  And, most of all, thanks for 10 GREAT puppies!!!!
