Am/Can Ch. Lothlorien Arwen Evenstar

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Arrie.  She would have been 15 years old on 12/13/00.

"Arrie"

12/13/85-10/12/00

                        Still round the corner there may wait

                                  A new road or a secret gate:

                                  And though I oft have passed them by,

                                  A day will come at last when I

                                  Shall take the hidden paths that run

                                  West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

                            - J.R.Tolkien

Arrie has been so much fun to show and live with.  A true showgirl from the start, she finished her American Championship in 7 shows, winning 6 of them, all at the age of 18 months.  She was expertly handled by the late Bob Stebbins to her Championship.  She then went on to win numerous Best Of Breeds, Best Of Opposites and Group Placements, often owner handled, earning her high national ranking.  She finished her Canadian Championship easily, all owner handled.  I've seldom shown a dog who loved the ring more.  We were very pleased that she was with us for close to 15 years.  She has left an empty space that can never be filled.
