Rain" was a year old in July of 2004. She has been the "Silver lining" that is in every cloud, that  I have heard about all of my life. Rain has always shown the attitude of a winner, and thanks to encouragement from friends and fellow Pap breeders, she has taken a short trip to Canada to "test the waters." She won her first major at 7 months of age, and imagine how proud we were when she took Best of Breed over a Special before her 8 month birthday! 

When sending out pictures of the Cadgets "Cherry" litter, Rain caught the attention of several Papillon lovers. She was chosen by breeders from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and of course, the U.S. as looking like a "very promising show candidate." 

She is home now, and plans for her to try motherhood is planned for the winter of 2005.

 I so wish that my wonderful, new friend, Christine Turner (Longcrags) was still of this earth so I could hear "I told you so" from her.

Thank you, Stephanie Eckstein, for the help and encouragement you have given me with this little stinker.  Your kindness has not gone unappreciated!  

With points to spare.............
