I’Gotit 2012-2017

2017-09-12 by sam 1 Comment

I’Gotit du Loups du Soleil was one of the great ones. Dogs like him don’t come around often and I’m beyond thankful and blessed to have had him in my life. If you ever got the chance to meet him, you know what I mean.

Yesterday was a hard day. He woke up not feeling well so I made a vet appt for later that day. Before our appt came, he started going down hill so I rushed him in. By the time I arrived at the vet, I had to carry him in. They quickly found a cancerous tumor which had formed an enormous amount of blood and fluid around his heart, putting immense pressure on it. (Hemangiosarcoma) There was nothing to do except be there with him and tell him what an amazing dog he was. It all happened so quickly, it’s still hard to believe. He would have been 6 this coming January.

Gotit was truly an amazing dog. He was my best cuddler and incredible to work with. There’s an unmistakable void in my life now. He will always have a place in my heart.

Feist

Goodbye my beloved Feist

Goodbye my beloved Feist


The world said goodbye to a legend yesterday after 14 years of leaving his mark in the dog world. Feist Du Loups Du Soleil was the first to achieve the triple crown of dog sports, FR3, MR3, IPO3–and competed at the national and world level in those. He was perhaps the most decorated and versatile Malinois and he inspired me and many others to venture into many different avenues of sport with our dogs. Most importantly he was a fantastic dog, constant companion and best friend to his mom, Lisa Maze. I’m certain he touched all who had the pleasure of meeting him and we all have our favorite memories of his confident, funny, and entertaining character. I am thankful for the gifts he has given me–Phendi & Pyton–and I hope that time, support, and happy memories can help his mom’s healing process. Feist you are a legend, one in a million, thank you for leaving us your legacy, rest easy my friend.

Foosha 2000-2012

2012-03-16 by sam Leave a Comment

Today I had to say good bye my beloved Foosha.
She never won any titles or blue ribbons but she was the best friend and companion I could ask for.
Not to mention the prettiest pup in the “F” litter!
I thank Sue Gillette for urging me to adopt her.
I thank Mike and Lisa for breeding the fabulous “F” litter.
Tonight I have a huge hole in my heart and my life.

Rest in peace, my friend, I’ll see you on the other side.

Harley died, much too young, of tumours of the liver and spleen. There was still so much to accomplish.
