Our Condolences to: Andrea & Tim Walters on the loss of Luna, Select Quercus Incandescent 12/8/04 - 5/23/09. “Our little Luna died sometime during the night, unexpectedly, suddenly, & peacefully. We don't know why, the vet suspects pulmonary embolism, as there were no signs of her being ill prior to her death, but that is really just guess, as she was so young & appeared healthy. She was the only surviving daughter of our Querk, who at nearing eleven is healthy & still silly. It is a sad, hard day in our house. Everybody give their kids a little extra hug for me and Luna....” Cheryl & Art Silver’s Katie Ruth is gone. Kathryn Ladick on the passing of Buddy, at 9 years old. Lisa Voss’ cat Spot has “Run Free.” He passed on June 29th. Andrea Stone on the passing of Shane. "Shane, you were the best dog anyone ever could have hoped to have. You taught me so much about dogs, dog training and dog showing. When I took you to dog shows, I barely even needed to be there. I held up your number and kept your lead from dragging. I held your bait and loved you when we left, whether we won or not. When we lost I knew I had still won: I got to go home with you. And when we won you knew already what others had recognized. You always knew you were the man. You were fearless, bold and so full of yourself. Every day was your day. You had an opinion on everything and we all knew about it. You were smart and handsome and a good leader. Despite being an assertive guy you were tolerant and willing to accept other adult dogs into your home.You were awesome exactly as you were. The Takaras & Andrea Stone on the loss of Feargus. “On April 23rd this year Feargus, Ch Saorsa Cu Chulainn, passed away. Feargus was from my first litter & my first homebred CH. In the end it was lymphoma that took him. His “dad”, a veterinarian, knew what lay ahead & they opted to save him from suffering through bowel cancer & potential treatment options. Feargus passed at home with his family around him at 11 yrs., 4 months old. I miss you, Feargus.”
