	Simon Patchwork's Simon Bar Joseph Simon is the dog that everyone would like to have. When we went to pick him up, Linda gave us a choice of 3 puppies. Two of them had much more "chrome" trim on them, and were all over us. Then there was this other pup - he wasn't shy, but he looked us over before he came to us. I asked Linda "which one do YOU think I should pick?" and she said "that puppy over there. That pup thinks all the time!" and I have been so thankful I took her advice! Simon does a lot of therapy work, primarily with 3,4 and 5 year olds who are developmentally delayed. We also go to the High School once a month to visit the Special Needs class. He has a gift of being able to reach people - I don't know any other way to explain it, but it happens again and again. Simon is also an excellent agility dog, competing at the top levels in several different venues. Best of all, he's a joy to live with - his nickname is "the Noble Dog!" Simon is neutered, and not part of the breeding program, but very much a part of our lives. We are thankful to have him!
	Drew Patchwork's Ramblin' Man Drew - my "border collie without a tail!" He's not a BC, he's pure Mini Aussie, but has speed to burn! Also quite a sense of humor - I call him Robin Williams in a dog suit! Drew is developing his agility skills - he has to remember that I'm a part of the team - and I'm watching him closely as he continues to develop structurally. If nothing else, he does entertain wherever he goes!
