BOB Can Ch Trademark's To Sir With Love
"Simba"

February 27, 1996 - February 23, 2003
 

   

Stud Muffin, oh my little Stud Muffin!
Such an eager man for balls, toys, going for walks and of course, the girls!
Though you weren't born with us, you certainly were one of our furkids from the first day.

You taught me boys like girls more than showing!
You taught me howling was part of your line!
You thought every girl that came was yours and yours alone to court!
And one of the biggest gifts you gave to us was being Head Door Greeter and Friend to everyone who came to visit!

The absolute biggest gift, my Stud Muffin, you gave me, was being the tud muffin you were!
We've sons and daughters and grandkids galore ~ many, many champions from you came!
Many, many herding and obedience dogs, too!
We had hoped for your ROMC as a fitting tribute to such the great dog you were...
but due to unfortunate accidents with some of your kids... will fall 2 dogs short....

I miss your face washes and your telling off the boys when they get too close to your girls,
I miss your happy bark telling me to play ball,
I miss your cuddling and lap sitting, in which you excelled,
Most of all I just miss you.

Rest well, my little Stud Muffin, until we meet again.

Love, Bonnie, Gord and Kris
Islewind Perm. Reg.
Also your sons and daughters here and elsewhere:
Timmy, Omen, Sassy, April, Nayla, Shaun, Cruise, Wish, Tony and more.
There at the bridge with you...... Eve and May

My Girl

April 29, 1994 - December 26, 2006  

   

You were the first being in my life to give me unconditional love and for that I will never forget you. You were always there for me through the most difficult times in my life. I will miss you forever. I will love you forever. I pray to God we do meet again. For now, I will catch the falling star and promise to never let it fade away.

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day.

From "Catch a Falling Star"
Lyrics by Lee Pockriss & Paul Vance

Love, Jodie

 


 

 

Ailea's Acoustic Alchemy
"R2"

February 21, 1997 - July 26, 2006
 

From the moment this young man was born into my hands, he was special. Of course at birth, the same as 99.9% of shelties born, this beautiful bi-black boy out of the bitch which ultimately became the foundation of all that is or will ever be Ailea, was my breeder's dream, with potential for it all - a champion in conformation, a champion in obedience, a champion in herding, agility, a champion, by damn, a champion! And as this puppy grew in weeks, his beauty began to shine, which fueled those hopes of such wonderful, great things which are the stuff of a breeder's dreams.

R2 was ultimately placed as a pet in a home in New Hampshire. His new family drove from New Hampshire to North Carolina to pick him up- sight unseen, they were heels over head in love with this puppy. Though the husband was not 100% in favor of adding a dog to the family, R2 quickly became everyone's life and love, husband included.

R2 changed the lives of all who knew him. A happy puppy, he was often carried to school, first elementary, then middle, and on up as the children grew. He joined the children on school outings and field trips, and rarely met a stranger. As is so often the case with dogs, if R2 was reticent about a person he met, without fail there was good reason, and a better judge of character I have never known.

R2 was never a conformation champion, never an obedience, or agility, or herding champion, either. What he was, was handsome and happy, and the star that was R2 always shone - and will forever shine - far brighter than any other I have ever known or hope to know.

Snuffed far too young (aren't they all?), R2 will absolutely be forever missed, but in missing him, his memory burns bright in the minds and hearts of all who knew him. Impossible to forget the antics, the barks, the bounces, or the exuberance he unleashed on his crate chewy or food dish. Impossible to forget.

For the love of R2 ~
Amy Butcher, Ailea Shelties

 


 

 

"Pepper" Logan

April 18, 1992 - January 13, 2007 

   

We registered her Fayr Wynds Li'l Red Haired Girl aka Peppermint Patty. She was going to be a show dog.

Monsignor Daniel Logan (an Irish Catholic priest) bought her January 22, 1993 when she was 9 months old and we had decided she wouldn't make it in the show ring. Had Msgr not come along and promised to love, honor and cherish her... she would have stayed with us the rest of her life. But he did come along and we did let her go to him. She became Pepper Logan.

She passed away last night, at almost 15 years old, at the Church rectory.

We have kept in constant contact with Msgr Logan, he became a close friend and whenever Pepper needed to go to the Vet, I took her.

Last year she suffered a life threatening episode, and a tracheotomy was the only thing that saved her life... I just happened to be the one who had gone to pick her up for a Vet visit due to her difficult breathing and I found her almost comatose.

Ever see some who thought they were driving an ambulance??? (like a maniac...getting her to the ER)

Turns out she had scar tissue that grew over the vocal cords which was cutting off her airway. After surgery to cut away the scar tissue she could breathe again, and she was a new dog, with a new lease on life. She had not been debarked, this scar tissue was a fluke.

Msgr spent $5,000 last year saving her life... his beloved 13 year old companion.

Two weeks ago her health started a rapid decline. Tuesday at noon was the last time she had eaten. Msgr warned us, he would not let anybody stick a needle in her arm and kill her, so she was going to have to die on her own... That, she did for him! Her final act of love, because she knew he could not handle her euthanasia. She died peacefully... surrounded by her family on Saturday night...

This was so hard on all of us.

 

Rest in Peace Beloved Pepper...

Go joyously into spirit and the summerland of youth 
Glory once again in your strength
Run free amid the wildflowers.
Sniff the tantalizing smells among the wooded tangles of the forest.
Sleep in the warm sun beside murmuring brooks.

And when you weary of the green hills and fields of Rainbow Bridge,
Follow the bright strand- forged of love which connects us.
It leads to the garden of my soul where a warm welcome always awaits your coming.

(Lisa Singer 1995)

Soloman Lizmark Pell
"Soleil"

November 30, 1992 - February 9, 2007

 

   

I had to have my 14 year-old Sheltie boy, Soleil, put to sleep last Friday (February 9, 2007), and it was the worst day of my life.

His name is Soleil. I called him this for two reasons: One, it was close to his pedigree name of Solomon, and secondly and most importantly, because he brought the sun back into my life after some really hard times. He helped me through so many tough times, too many to think about. Right to the end he was so devoted to me, managing to wag his tail and although his poor little body was worn out, and I had to sign the form for him to go to Rainbow Bridge, he was just so brave for me, much braver than I was, although I stayed with him until he went to sleep for the last time.

Soleil was my first dog, my love, my life, my best friend in the whole world, and will be in my heart forever. I will never forget our special memories together, not even the day I first got him home when he was sold to me by someone who could not afford to keep him any longer at just over two years old. That was the best day of my life, and Friday, February 9, was my worst. Soleil was born into this world on November 30, 1992, and left on February 9, 2007.

Be at peace, my little darling Sheltie, til we meet again. The tears are coming again, my sweet Sheltie Angel, I love you forever and you will be in that special place in my heart that you have always been in.

Love from the one you guided and helped,

Mum Elaine  xxx
