Violet (aka Baba)….. from the moment she arrived, to the moment she left us, she challenged us and loved us and was one of the smartest Siberians we have ever had. She ate Merle’s dancing shoes, she opened gates, she loved to dance, she was the most effective counter surfer, she was bit by a puff adder and survived, and so much more. She was loved!
Geronimo was our very first red dog that we bred, hence the name “seeing red”. He was a beautiful, friendly well-rounded Siberian that we loved from the minute he was born. He had the most fabulous temperament and we so enjoyed showing him. He lived to a really great age and although it was hard to say goodbye, he told us in no uncertain terms that he was ready to go. We love you Mo-Mo!
Bentley was Einstein’s mini-me. He was full of energy and a typical Siberian; always up to no good and extremely vocal. Due to an injury, we could not show him, but he was our “showdog” at home. He took ill with liver disease at a very young age. We miss this vocal, boisterous, happy-go-lucky boy.
Blondie flew in from Ohio, USA together with Violet. Roger renamed her “Blondie Cool” from the moment he laid eyes on her. And she truly was a “cool” dog.
We hate that you left us so soon Blondie; you didn’t deserve that dreadful disease.
We miss this joyful, spunky girl.
Just over a year ago we said goodbye to Buttons, Rose’s littersister. We thought Rose would be with us for a few more years, but she took ill and we he had to make the decision to let her go.
She was a real gem with a gentle soul.
I’m sure you are running free with Buttons and Peewee and all the others that have gone before you.
Einstein, we dreaded the time when you decided to say goodbye; but you did and we thank you for everything you gave us.
You have our hearts.
Peewee was collected in New York by Merle and they flew back to South Africa via London; a trip that she will never forget.
She was a real Sweet P (aka Peep Peeps).
She was a true pack leader, with the sweetest nature and a non-chalant way of dealing with the younger troublemakers.
She fought a hard battle with the big C for months but eventually she just got tired and we knew it was time to say goodbye. This was a very hard goodbye for us but we know she is with Tom and her siblings and her children.
We miss you so much Peep Peeps.
We knew something was not right, but you hid it well. The time was not right but you left us anyway. You were the one that surprised us in everything you did. We will never forget you dear Buttons and that special heart you carried with you always. Hope you are having fun with Luan.
Here today, gone tomorrow.
You certainly did it your way!
We thought you would stay with us forever.
Fly baby girl, fly!
Lewis was Merle’s heart dog.
He left us on his own terms and very unexpectedly.
Run free beautiful Lewis.
You are sorely missed.
