Mandoline
CH Dakota Snowood Secret Wish
Ponderosa Sky Show Dals can also not say enough thanks to Kristine Benoit, Meg Hennessey & Deborah Smith for breeding and allowing Ponderosa Sky Show Dals to co-own with Kristine Benoit our beautiful liver-factored “Mandoline.” She is formally known as CH Dakota Snowood Secret Wish, DOB 11/01/2021, sired by 2018 #1 Dalmatian and All Breed, MBISS MBIS GCH Dakota Into the Woods ROM (GCHS Multi BISS Enchanted Hart Down N Dirty ROMX [L] x GCH Dakota’s The Closer). Mandoline’s dam is CH Snowood Dakota When You Wish Upon a Star ROM [L] (Ch Highland’s Flying High Again X CH Dakota’s Breaking Dawn at Snowood ROMX). Mandoline won WB at the 2021 National under Judge James Ham when shown by Danielle Frykman, later rescinded due to an obscure entry error technicality, but she was recognized at the National.
Mandoline won Sweepstakes for Best Junior at the Amana, Iowa KC on under Judge !
She won Majors with WB recognition at Dalmatian supported events with the Greeley KC by Judge for 5 points when shown by Danielle Frykman and Oberlin, Ohio by Judge for 4 points when shown by Danielle Frykman, as well as 1 point WB awards at the Plum Creek KC by Judge when shown by and 1 point WB Colorado Springs KC by Judge when shown by .
Had the National WB stood she would have had her Championship at 9 months. She actually finished her Championship 12/17/2021 at 13 months at the Royal Canine Mid-Florida Dalmatian Specialty in Orlando where she was handled by Danielle Frykman and won the WB award of 4 points and was further recognized with an Award of Merit by Judge Charles Olives!
Mandoline also had Reserve WB awards when shown by handlers as follows: The Estes Park Specialties with the Greater Denver Dalmatian Club under judges when shown by handler ; the Amana Dalmatian Specialty on under Judges and Dalmatian supported event in Amana, Iowa under Judges when shown by Danielle Fryman; as well as the Dalmatian supported event in Detroit, MI with the KC when shown by Danielle Frykman. Additionally when owner-handled, Mandoline had first class awards at both of the Lawrence Kansas Dalmatian Specialties and both of the Lawrence, Kansas supported entries with the KC and a first place at the Sacramento supported Dalmatian event on .
Note both the sire and dam of Mandoline go back to the famed CH Aberdeen’s Sawyer Brown ROMX, bred by Denise Powell and Sonja Jones, and owned by John and Kristine Benoit at Dakota Dalmatians. Ponderosa Sky Dalmatian’s previous pet dogs, Aberdeen’s Apache Tears and Aberdeen’s Francesca Blues were a 2000 son and 2002 granddaughter of CH Aberdeen’s Sawyer Brown ROMX. Our Mandoline is also a namesake of Aberdeen’s Lady Mandoline, who was Aberdeen’s Apache’s Tears and Aberdeen’s Francesca Blues’ dam. We treasure this heritage, along with all the well-known Dals in the lines of Mandoline, Cash and Lily.
We are also so proud of the achievements of littermate, Tana F. Rugg’s multiple group placing GCHS Monumental It’s Always Better With Chocolate RN RI TD CA DCAT THD CGC TKI ADT, #8 NOHS & # 4 BCAT 2017 and her 2018 offspring sired by 2018 #1 Dalmatian and All Breed, MBIS MBIS GCHP Dakota Into the Woods ROM. This offspring includes multiple group placing dogs “Roisin,” GCHB Monumental’s Shenanigan RI DCAT TKA THDN ATD [L} and littermate “Cooper” GCHB Monumental’s Oh Danny Boy, a Top 20 Dal for 2020 and 2021!

Cash!
Many thanks to Tana F. and B. Rugg, as well as Robert C. and Pamela Fisher for their work in breeding our adorable “Cash” and the Rugg family for allowing us to have this liver-factored stud dog born 09/23/2014. He is multiple group placing GCH Monumental Always the Rockstar at Ponderosa Sky, who is co-owned by Tana Rugg at Monumental Dalmatians and Linda Daly at Ponderosa Sky Dalmatians. Cash’s sire “Storm,” group placing GCH Rockstar’s Cold Play CGC ATD was sired by GCH Spotlight Storm Chaser, #1 stud dog in 2012 (GCH Spotlights Ruffian #1 Dal in 2011 and 2012 and 2013 National Specialty Best of Breed) and whelped by “Scandal,” GCH Rockstar’s Whole Lotta Trouble CGC ATD ROM (GCH Mt Bryton’s Covert Operator {sired by CH Aberdeen’s Sawyer Brown ROMX} x National Specialty BIS GCH Snow Hill’s Fireflies at Rockstar CD CGC ROMX ATD). Cash’s Dam “Joie” GCH Monumental Highly Resembles a Rockstar CD BN RN TD CA THDN CGC TD [L] was sired by “Slade,” BISS GCH Rockstar’s Reconsider Me ROMX ATD [L] and whelped by “Sadie,” CT GCH Monumental Ravenwd Smart Choice CD RE. Cash’s dam Joie was lost this year and his sire Storm in 2019, both too early and will always be known as beautiful, talented and family-oriented Dals, who are missed by all who knew them. Cash is retired and loves to be with his family at home.
CH Monumental Always Up to Something CAX, DCAT, RN. BN aka
Lily
Monumental Dalmatians also blessed the Daly family, by allowing us to have Cash’s littermate “Lily,” Ch Always Up to Something CGCA, DCAT, CAX, RN, BN in 2015. She was in top 20 FCAT runs in 2017 and 2018. Lily loves to run and is a darling uni girl, so she is an anty and not a mommy. More performance awards are in sight for this young lady.
Note both the sire and dam of Mandoline go back to the famed CH Aberdeen’s Sawyer Brown ROMX, bred by Denise Powell and Sonja Jones, and owned by John and Kristine Benoit at Dakota Dalmatians. Ponderosa Sky Dalmatian’s previous pet dogs, Aberdeen’s Apache Tears and Aberdeen’s Francesca Blues were a 2000 son and 2002 granddaughter of CH Aberdeen’s Sawyer Brown ROMX. Our Mandoline is also a namesake of Aberdeen’s Lady Mandoline, who was Aberdeen’s Apache’s Tears and Aberdeen’s Francesca Blues’ dam. Cash and Lily also have a tie to this heritage in their background, as previously cited. We treasure this heritage, along with all the well-known Dals in the lines of Mandoline, Cash and Lily.
I am having fun through my Dals and Horses too, as Dals love horses and so do my two tan and white Russell Terriers by the way CH Rivendell's Beau Bentley and Ch Annabella Xmas Angel! My horses are Tennessee Walker Lady Mocha Chocolaca and Mustang Pistol, both beautiful bays.

BE PATIENT TOWARDS ALL THAT IS UNSOLVED IN OUR HEART AND TRY TO LOVE THE QUESTIONS THEMSELVES.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Find your true potential and passion in the dark depths amid infinitesimal light sparks with persistent curiosity and positive inquiry.
Inspired by Carl Jung's writing on the unconscious, IFS notions of many parts to the Self and Carl Roger's person-centered work.
A BIT ABOUT THERAPY AND ME
IFS trainer Carol Graybeal suggests loving the questions as you ask things like:
What is wrong with me?
Why does no one like me?
Will my life ever get better?
Will I ever get over this problem?
Why can't I do better?
I hope to help you explore these questions with compassion and confidence, rather than judgment to help you move forward with positive psychological inquiry.
Spiritual inquiry, in conjunction with psychological inquiry, helps connect us to our deepest Self, which is integral in self-corrective healing. Sprirtual inquiry such as religious leaders throughout the world consider, may lead to such questions as: why are we here, what is the meaning of life, how do I understand death, how can I become more awake, what is compassion – what are your questions?
An old saying is that the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man. It is a saying containing wisdom, warmth and mutuality. Similarly, facing the wilderness of the unknown with support, helps to hold hope with balance and strength.
Note my dogs would love to help support your with love and my horses, like my dogs, adore attention and are always eager to be a partner. I use the natural horsemanship principles of Pat Parelli to build confidence in both the horse and human and positive dog psychology.

I am recognized as a sandplay practitioner, registered play therapist and board certified clinical social worker. I am also certified in Love and Logic Parenting.
I have competency as an integrative therapist using neurodevelopmental considerations to address attachment, trauma and life changes such as aging, military life, grief, illness, abuse, assault, mood Issues, attention and/or behavior with a range of expressive, experiential and mindfulness approaches.
I always begin where you are at using person-centered therapy and integrate other approaches, as we get to know one another and decide more specific directions that you may be interested in and seem like a good fit.
My focus is on those from all walks of life, sexual orientations, races and countries, along with meeting your needs and/or those of your children, and/or partner or other family members.
I have masters and bachelors' degrees in social work from the University of Denver and Kansas respectively; a bachelor's degree in painting and creative writing from Mills College; and a master's degree in American literature from Colorado State University, where my thesis was on character development using Jungian psychology.
I have a wealth of experience with over 20 years in adoptions and additional work history in trauma settings, hospitals, schools and on Ft. Carson.
Beginning in 2012 I began working in community mental health, as a Generalist and Medicare Specialist at AspenPointe, seeing Children, Adolescents, Adults & Seniors.
Since 2017 until May 13, 2021, I have been an Early Child Specialist and Generalist at a community mental health center in the greater Denver area, All Health Network, where I have been paneled with nearly all major health insurance companies in Colorado.
Generalist means that I also have experience and qualifications to see people of all ages and presenting difficulties in a mental health outpatient setting.

Person-Centered Therapy
“It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried. It began to occur to me that unless I had a need to demonstrate my own cleverness and learning, I would do better to rely upon the client for the direction of movement in the process.” – Carl Rogers
CBT and DBT are evidence based approaches, which along with Person-Centered Therapy are foundational modern therapies for treating mood disorders and trauma focusing on bringing words and thoughts in balance with feelings to manage behavior.
TFCBT is an evidence based treatment of children who are most often sexually abused children and or in grief and employs the family closely in the healing process.
REMEMBER THAT FOR CHILDREN PLAY IS LANGUAGE AND WITH
TRAUMA FOR ANY AGE THERE OFTEN ARE NO WORDS
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk says that "trauma resolution pendulates between states of exploration and safety, between language and body, between remembering the past and feeling alive in the present."
Note that the practice of sandplay is grounded in Jungian psychology, Margaret Lowenfeld's World Technique and Tibetan Buddhist Wisdom.
Fellow Denver, Colorado Sandplay Practitioner Ruth Wein uses
both EMDR and sandplay to address trauma with children. Certified Ft. Collins, Colorado Sandplay Therapist, Shannon Yockey employs EMDR in her trauma work with teens and adults.
Karby Allington-Goldfain, yet another fellow sandplay therapist in Englewood, Colorado is also certified in EMDR and Sandplay.
These methods are cited as therapies to be considered in the treatment of trauma by Dr. Bessel A. van der Kolk. He also notes animal-assisted therapy as an adjunct treatment for trauma. He particularly cites the sequential-neuro development work of Dr. Lorraine Freedle, PhD. a prominent sandplay therapist in Hawaii and a neuropsychologist, whom I have studied with in an intensive workshop in Hawaii, along with Dr. Gita Morena, PhD, a professor and published author at the University of California in transpersonal psychology and sandplay. I have had lengthy consultative supervision with for many months each, in addition to training and/or consultative supervision with a range of other prominent sandplay therapists at local, national and international events. Note that the practice of sandplay is grounded in Jungian psychology, Margaret Lowenfeld's World Technique and Tibetan Buddhist Wisdom. Laurel Howe is a prominent leader both in Jungian Analytical Circles and Sandplay in Lakewood, Colorado, known for her work with children and adults, who has inspired me during my lengthy sandplay process work with her and in an earlier analyst for about a year with Denver Jungian Analyst Laurel Dodson, who integrated family systems work of Virginia Satir with Jungian psycholgy. Prior to meeting her I was very involved for two years obtaining marriage and family therapy training and supervision with Dr. Jan Raynak, MD and Dr. Suzanne Pope, PhD at the Colorado Institute for Marriage and Family Therapy in Boulder, CO.
