Nellie our first born & very special girl. She was the most happy, fun loving girl who thought everyone was there to see her. She showed, carted and did obedience & was just an all round great girl was we so desperately miss everyday.

Laukie has been a joy to own and has been a wonderful therapy dog and carting companion. Arthritis has slowed him down but he still enjoys car rides and joining the pack when barking begins.

Jackson’s an amazing companion, family member, neighbor and friend to many. He has an outgoing, fun-loving temperament and continues to have a spring in his step as he ages, despite TPLO surgery at 10 ½ this past June. We’re relieved he’s healed so well, it was the right decision for him. Jackson has slowed down but still loves his walks, visiting neighbors, cookies and the cooler temps that are rolling in. To look at him you’d never know he’s 11! What a joy he is, and we’re blessed to own him.

Ayla was always right by my side. She was a sweetheart and loved everyone - she expected everyone she met to pet her. She was a very healthy girl all her life. She was dearly loved and is greatly missed.

Atlas is about the most easy-going dog on the planet. He's happy to cuddle, go for a walk or a hike, eat, go for a drive, play tug, chew on a bone, or anything other than swimming. He is a sweet boy unless you are a possum, and then he's your worst enemy. He had melanoma years ago, but his vet said no one told him, so he's had no signs of it and is enjoying his time as a senior. We feel so fortunate that he is still with us in his double-digit years. We love our "At-Yak" and the joy he brings to all who meet him.

Betty started her life in a puppy mill. We began fostering her when she was 5 years old and 37lb. After a year she was still with us and still very skittish so we decided to keep her. She is now 82lb and happy and talkative. Wouldnt know she was almost 11 to look at her. Boop sleeps more but otherwise doesnt show her age at all.

Bella was the berner we didn’t know we needed. She came into our lives giving us so much love and happiness, along with endless berner cuddles .She was my very best friend and showed us the endless love a dog can give. She will be missed

Petunia, our life companion for the last 11 years. She is furry little girl and my personal shadow in sad and happy moments. She is one who always looks at us with adoration and for whom a caress is never missing. She is a piece of our family.

My Haidy. What about her? Every word is superfluous. She is everything, she is too much. Since she entered our home she has given us only moments of happiness. She is our strength, our rock. Wonderful on every occasion, always present, always ready to understand our moods, our pains and above all our joys. She herself is pure joy.

Xmas Giotta's sensitivity and intelligence accompanies me every day as her mother always did. She is my strength and my courage. I love her immensely.

Fanny is much more than just a dog, she is an integral part of our family. Her presence colors our days and reminds us of the importance of living. I would say an exceptional dog. 10 wonderful years and 10 months!!!

Sadie's still going strong after a double TPLO and a splenectomy. She welcomes newcomers to the neighborhood by taking them cookies or pastries in her "Welcome Wagon"(cart.) She still wakes me in the mornings, but if I tap my left wrist, as though taping a watch, and say, "In a minute." She goes away and lets me snooze for about 10 minutes before coming back in to wake me again.
