Dear Summer You will be forever Missed
Summer was always a follower and not a leader. She really liked to hunt and chase squirrels and on several occasions would also help tree bears with Akala and Asha that have ventured onto our property over the years. She was a great mom to her pups 
and aunt to Asha's pups
Asha left us April 27, 2012
Asha
Shes an old pup in my heart,
Asha was an old pup right from the start.
From the very first day,
She got her way.
A mind of her own; she taught us who was boss.
Her passing an irreplaceable loss.
Leader of the pack, an alpha dog,
A love hog.
Trails we ran, bears she treed.
Games shed lead,
Ball, tug and tag
And torn garbage bags.
Panting and drooling,
She wasnt fooling.
Head nudging she let you know,
Who was in charge of the show.
Shes an old pup in my heart,
Asha was an old pup right from the start.
How I miss her so,
I wish she didnt have to go.
Her intelligence grew,
A prominent character showed through,
Sometimes uncontrolled,
Mostly elegantly bold.
Inevitably she grew old and died,
The many tears I cried,
A testament to her force,
Faithful love at its source.
Shes an old pup who lives in my heart,
From her memories Ill never part.
Dogs they come and go,
Asha is the best of the show,

Abide in Me with Charisma went Best of Breed everyday and now sits on 18 points towards his Grand Championship. As a breeder, I feel I have come so far and have put every single point on Carli, a first for me. I am thrilled with my Karma x Akala litter and can't thank Gayle Clarkson enough for her support and most importantly, allowing me to be a part of Akala's amazing legacy. I love that boy ♥"
