Hi everyone,
I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post this. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Rhonda and in live in South Louisiana. My bc, Deuce, and I herd on most Sundays with Donna (Tips Mom)/Mick & Calli and Danielle (Chesney's SLUgir)/Chesney. I've been one of those "silent" members for a long time now. Donna convinced me that I needed to come out of the shadows and post the link to this blog, complete with pictures, so that everyone could see this beautiful "work of art." I've wanted a crook for some time now. I'd probably been looking for that "special" crook about a year before I stumbled on Mark DeCou, an artist in the Kansas Flinthills. I wrote him to ask if he'd be interested in designing/making a shepherds crook. The response I got was incredible. Mark had a design in mind that he'd wanted to do for years (10 actually) for his own border collie (Luke) who is still with him today. :-) The short version is that I commissioned the crook and it's beyond my expectations. So, without further adieu ~ http://lumberjocks.com/projects/10653 Thanks for looking! |

What a beautiful crook. All the more special in that he used your own dog for the model.
I'd be afraid to use it at a trial for fear that I would break it or something. Kathy |

   And it's about time you quit lurking, Rhonda!

Thanks for the welcome. It's great to be here. Maybe I can talk Donna or Danielle into posting some pics of Deuce during one of our sessions. Huh???
 Remy, I sent a personal message to you. |

Like these Rhonda?
 Good luck at your trial this weekend. Hope Deuce outruns and stops at the top well for you.  And one for fun... Deuce being a stinker while Rhonda's closing the gate!  -------------------- Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out -
