Sunday May 18th we said goodbye to Storm. Words can never express how you feel when you lose someone so special.

Storm was always ready to train and was one of the most eager to please goldens. He lived his life with great desire and intensity. He did everything with enthusiasm and loved to chase balls and retrieve birds.

Mark Raycroft from Brown Trout Publishing Co loved taking photographs of Storm . He has been featured every year since 2003 on many golden retriever calanders.

Storm would do anything you asked of him and was so trusting. Jim often commented that he could heel him into a wall and he would never see it since his eyes never left him. They both accomplished so much in the obedience ring. They received multiple high in trial awards and Storm in 2001 was one of the top obedience dogs in Canada. He was #6 all breeds, #3 golden retriever and # 3 Sporting dog.

He was a fearless golden, Jim even had him do a sit stay on the roof of our kennel building and he did it happily of course because Jim asked him to.

Storm was an expert seadoo rider . Jim and Storm would go 60 mph down Bob's lake, people at their cottages would come down to the shore to watch the seadoo dog.

His greatest distraction in life was his tail which he would chase, catch and chase again going in the opposite direction.

Storm, you were the best. You truly were a once in a lifetime dog.

We love you and miss you always,

Jim, Judy and all of your Blue Heron Friends
