Vader

7 years young, this precious boy.  Heartbreaking loss for his mom Jenn.  Champion Agility boy.

RIP Max

RIP Jasmine

July 6th 2006 - April 25th 2015

Jasmine and Petey were the same age, I "met" her owner on DT.  She was related to my Monty.

RIP Dante

RIP CAPER

Do any Dobe's live long?  Another tragic loss of one so young. 

RIP Bella

This beautiful cherished soul, Bella,  passed suddenly from DCM yesterday. Not even 7 years old.  Each day with a doberman is a gift.  Few ever grow old.   RIP Bella

Zane

Along the way I forgot to put a tribute to Zane, my son's friends best friend.  He also died just after his 5th Birthday.  He was a great dog.  Monty loved him.

Forever in our Hearts

Another gone far too young from DCM

Jeter

My best friends in the entire world had their little Jeter put down, she had cancer. 

Xasper

My friend in the Netherlands loses another.  Deeply sorry for her tragic loss of this wonderful boy. 

Sammy

Went over and spent a little time holding a friends lil poodle boy while they were at work.  He was in congestive heart failure, he died a couple hours later.  What a sweet boy. 

RIP Junior

Beautiful Honey

Our friends lost their beautiful old girl last night.  We were called as she passed away and asked to go over and sit with them.  It was sad, but also nice to see how peaceful she was, and how she never had to suffer.  Honey was 13.5.

Hard for me to imagine that you have been gone two long years my sweet friend, even harder to know how young you were when you passed away.  My heart still hurts.  I miss you.  Happy Birthday I hope some how, some way we will meet again.  I love you Petey! 

and another

As Petey's 7th birthday nears, yet another doberman taken far too young.  Fifi was was 7 years and 3 months old, has had CAH for 5 years, it finally took her yesterday.  I hope there is some type of afterlife for all these sweet dobes who have died in the prime of their lives.  Tragic....breeders need to do something, it isn't fair to the dogs nor their brokenhearted owners.  Rest in Peace sweet beautiful girl.  My heart bleeds for your owners. 

Almost 2 years.....

Still miss you like it was yesterday. 

and another.....

and another.....my friend who created the top of this Blog has lost her precious boy.  Heart breaking.  Do any Dobes grow old? 

If I'd known the way that this would end
If I'd read the last page first
If I'd had the strength to walk away
If I'd known how this would hurt

I would have loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same

Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I would have loved you anyway
(Song by Trisha Yearwood)

Another gone..... Nikita....she had a life full of pain and surgeries and in the end it was her heart that took her.  If anything, I feel worse and miss you more as each day passes my dear sweet Petey.

My Prince....miss you

6 years old today

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. 

more

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. 

11 months gone.....

6 long months have passed, I still think of you every day. I will miss you forever Big Pete.
