Hismerh Prince Piere *Petey*: 2012

My dear sweet Prince you would have been 6 years old today. My heart and soul are still hurting, I miss you so deeply. Time doesn't seem to be healing my loss of you very quickly. Happy Birthday Petey! You were simply the best dog to ever live. When I see a Raven it makes me feel like you are with me. At the hawk watch today, there was one hanging around for a long time, chattering up a storm.

and two more.....RIP Winston and Dillon. Poor baby Dillon was only 3.5 years old. No more Dobes for me. It's completely unacceptable for these horrible health issues to go on for so many decades. Tragic for their owners.

and another one....

RIP dear sweet Lexx. You were a brave puppy with the best doggie parents ever!

Written by his Mom Leanne:

We are, at times, given the briefest of opportunities to be faced with the most wonderful of souls. They take us and lead us along a pathway that we never would have chosen for ourselves. They mold us and change us, and make us question ourselves. They teach us to grow and change and become better people. It seems that these special souls never stay with us as long as they should. They are here, and they change everything, and then they are simply gone.

But left behind them is a network of those they have touched, taught, and bettered.

For without these moments, however brief, we would never come to understand what we,ourselves, are fully capable of. And for this, we should be eternally in debt.

I never understood love. I never understood the true meaning of the perfect soul, until I met you.

Thank you. Each day was a miracle, a blessing, and will never be forgotten.

RIP

Another lost to DCM. RIP Ooh Rah...you were an amazing boy. I was privileged to meet you on several occasion. You and your mom were a inspiration to watch do obedience, you had a bond that everyone with a dog should strive for. I hope Petey was there to meet you when you arrived.
