IN MEMORY OF EARL

Hi there
I have two dogs currently, a Cocker named Ralphie(who
is 16) and a Yorkie named Petey(9), adopted last year
from the Bide-A-Wee,( local shelter). I love these 2
little guys, but I miss my first Cocker, Earl who died
14 years ago. He was very special and I still talk
(& brag) about him because he was so smart and practically
human. Too numorous to mention all the smart things he
did, but I would like to list him on the loving memory
page.

DIXIE & SAM
Dixie was a beautiful black,white and tan Collie
who graced our lives for 15 wonderful years. Sam
was "Samantha"...a poodle/wire-haired Terrier mix
who was with us for 13 years. They were wonderful
and they are greatly missed.

IN MEMORY OF THIRSTY

We recently lost our sweet nine-year-old beagle, Thirsty.
Thirsty had lupus and epilepsy and a dislocated disc in his
back, but wasn't in pain (there was some type of tumor pressing
on his pain sensor in the brain which kept him pain-free) and
continued eating and enjoying life until his last few minutes.
Thirsty was a great inspiration to our family and loved
children. He went to our family reunion in June where he had
a great time and died on August 12, 1998 even though the vet
said he should have died years ago.

We still have our blind/deaf sixteen year old cocker mix,
Ginger, and now have two beagle puppies, but no one can take
Thirsty's place.




IN MEMORY OF MICKEY MOUSE ROUSE


March 1999
We just lost our Mickey Mouse Rouse and we won't ever be the
same without her. We named her that because she was born with
a big Mickey Mouse face on her side. She was a wonderful dog.
A purebred German Shorthair. She died two weeks ago and
and will always have her in our hearts. We also have a
purebred Eskimo Spitz who misses her very much.

Notice the Mickey Mouse face on her side. We still miss her
very much. My sister in law bought one of Mickey Mouse's
puppies when she had them and her name is Maxine Mouse. They
are going to breed her this May and we will get one of
her puppies. I can't wait. It will be a part of Mickey.

IN MEMORY OF RAMBO

APRIL 1999

I just lost my Rambo (almost 10 years old). I bought my
little Rambo (A peke) summer of 1989. I had just arrived
in this country with no family. The breeder brought the
litter and I couldn't decide because they were all so
cute. But when I picked Rambo he wanted to bite me!. I
fell in love with him. Within hours Rambo was chasing me
around the apartment.

Rambo has been my loyal companion and protector since then.
He did had the traits of a peke. VERY STUBBORN, man we always
had a leash fight. Three years ago I bought another Peke
(Caesar). I wanted another dog to keep him company and I
wanted to prepare for his departure (I live alone). Nothing
could have prepared me for this pain.

I wanted to be there when he left. But he died at 4:00 AM
in the emergency room of cardiac arrest. I thank God that
I stopped earlier Sunday night to check on him and I told
him how much I loved him and what a good dog he had
been. For some reason I begged him to not go. Rambo had
been a real stoic dog and strong. I had no inkling that my
Rambo had decided to leave me.

Rambo trained me, I never spent a second trying to train him.
He showed me when he was hungry. He showed me how to play
with him. He would tell (almost) when he wanted milk and he
came to terms with the fact that there was another peke in
our lives.

Rambo has taken my heart and my soul with him.

Buddy,
I got Buddy Bobo for my husband in Ohio, when he was only six weeks old. He was such a beautiful lil baby, all black, tan and with that lil pink tongue that just never seem to fit in his mouth. As Buddy grew into the size of a pony our love grew with him. I was very attached to Buddy. No matter how busy the rest of my family was, Buddy always had time to play with the mommie. He was the most performing dog I have ever seen. He would do anything to make you smile. He was always in a good mood and ready to have some fun. The highlight of my day was coming home from work, and having my Buddy meet me at the door, jumping up putting his paws on my shoulders and giving me sugars with that tongue that still just not fit. Just so you know, Buddy was a Rottweiler. He had the most intelligent eyes, like he could see right to the heart of the problem and the answer was always to do one of his goofy tricks to make us laugh. He always backed up to the sofa, propped his big booty on it, and would swing his hind feet, with that tongue hanging out of a tilted head. His other favorite trick was 'ropey'. He had a long ropey made of nylon that you just had to play with. He would throw it at you if you didn't. As I said, he was my comfort, he was my laughter, he was my very dear friend. I spoiled him unmercfully, taking him everywhere possible, he slept on the bed(good thing it was a kingsized) he ate what I ate, he watched tv, he was always there.

One day, my husband came to pick me up for lunch, as was common, he was gone perhaps 35 minutes, when we opened the door, Buddy was laying on the rug in front of the door, which again was common. He usually stayed there until we returned home. He looked as if he was asleep, we began to laugh at him being all sleepy headed, and kinda nudged him, he didn't move. I screamed and fell down next to him. Began to shake him telling him to stop, get up. He was looking at me it seemed, his eyes had not cleared over even. I felt for his heart, nothing. I was devasted, as was my husband. We picked Buddy up each in turn, trying to rub the life back into him, telling him to wake up. I remember saying over and over " don't leave me Buddy", Please do do this. I can't lose you too. I had just lost my grandmother two weeks before, and he was what got me through that. My husband finally had to pull me away, and put me in another room. That afternoon, we buried our Buddy, in our backyard, right where he is always looking after us, its next to our bedroom so we can look out and know he is there. To this day we are not sure what happened to our Buddy, except that the angels in heaven needed a Buddy too!

Buddy, I still miss you!

Mommie
