 Cajen Fillette JC "Fillie" (Am Ch Cajen City Of New Orleans X Quicksilver Cajen Chloe) Click for Pedigree |
| The wait was over. Carolynn Bates (Cajen Whippets) had a litter in which we were very interested. So off we went to meet her at a friend's home in Oklahoma City. It was such a beautiful litter I didn't know how we would ever pick just one puppy. We sat on the ground playing with first one puppy then another. It seemed that both Dwight and I were most interested in the girls in the litter. The only problem was Dwight liked one girl and I liked another one. They were both beautiful. So we sat for the longest time trying to decide which of them would go home with us. Carolynn knew we were torn, so she made both our dreams come true when she asked, "Why don't you take both of them?" It was a brilliant suggestion and we agreed. Carolynn had chosen a French theme to name the pups. Dwight's pup was to be named Cajen Fillette and mine would be Cajen Coquette. Fillette translates to "little girl". Both girls grew into beautiful Whippets. When we began to show them, we would show one on Saturday and the other on Sunday. Although Fillie enjoyed the show ring and did well, earning six championship points, she never finished her title. Fillie also liked to chase the lure. She earned a Junior Courser title and also enjoyed some straight racing. Fillie was bred her once. We kept her daughter, Drama, from that litter. She is now spayed and enjoys being the grand dam of the house. Fillie's job is to teache manners to any new puppies that come into our home. She does it in a very nice easy way so the pups grow up to be sweet Whippets, like her. Fillie is much loved and it is a privilege to watch her grow old with grace. Thank you so much, Carolynn, for allowing Fillie to share our lives. She is and always has been the sweetest dog we have ever owned. |
