In Memory of T-Bone

CROSSED PAWS SO DEBONAIR

WRINKLY FACE WITH RED RED HAIR
"FIRED ON DOWN" FROM WASHINGTON
AND SO OUR JOURNEY HAD BEGUN...
ARRIVED SO SMALL AND SMELLING FOUL
BEE STUNG LIP AND SOULFUL HOWL
BAGGY PANTS TOO BIG TO FIT
YOUR UNIQUE SMELL DIDN'T BOTHER OLLIE A BIT
YOU AND MONKEY WERE MATES FOR LIFE
ALTHOUGH THE FOOD BOWLS CAUSED SOME STRIFE
LICKING SESSIONS THAT WENT ON & ON
NOW MONKEY'S LOST & CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GONE!
SNIPPY SNAPPY IN THE BED
SURE DID LOVE YOUR BIG COW HEAD
HANGIN UNDER OLLIE'S FEET
YOURS AND HIS BOND COULD NOT BE BEAT
TESTOSTERONE PUMPIN' & UNTHINKABLE GAS
NO MORE DOG PARK-YOU KICKED TOO MUCH ASS!!
SPEAKING OF WHICH, YOURS WENT THROUGH SOME WARS
FAITHFUL FRIEND- BEST ON ALL FOURS!
WHEN THE KIDS ARRIVED YOU TOLERATED
EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CLEAR YOU WERE NOT ELATED!
CHICKLETTE TEETH, WE USED TO HAND FEED YOU
SO STRONG, LOVING AND HANDSOME OLLIE WANTED TO BREED YOU!
YOUR STINK WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY BOOKS
WE LOVED YOUR SCENE STEALING HOLLYWOOD LOOKS!
IT SPOKE VOLUMES-YOUR PUPPYISH FACE
THERE WILL BE OTHERS- BUT NONE WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE
WITH YOU AROUND BOY WE WERE NEVER ALONE 
TOLUCA ESTATES-A HOUSE MADE A HOME
A MORE FAITHFUL FRIEND NO ONE'S EVER KNOWN
WE WILL MISS YOU, OUR BOY, OUR BELOVED T-BONE!

 
YOU WILL LIVE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER T-BONE!!!
LOVE,
OLIVER, KERI, MONKEY, CHLOE & DAPHNE LEIBER

Bailey Mac, Mama’s stinkman and Papa’s buddy.

We only had you a year but in that short time you gave us so much happiness; we were the lucky ones to have rescued you!

Even with Renal Failure you fought hard, and put up with all the pills and bland food, but in the end it was too much for you.

We miss your handsome face, your stinky breath, and your snaggletooth most of all. And we all miss sharing the bed with you, even though you snored. We cannot wait to cuddle with you again buddy! 

We love and miss you greatly xoxo 

Love Mama, Papa and brother Gizmo (Brian and Kristen McGowan)

This field was one of Duke's favorite places. He always looked forward to his runs and would "buck like a bronco" with excitement whenever I asked him "Do you want to go up to the field?"

You were the reason Cinnamon the rescue dogue stayed with us and allowed me the privilege of knowing this wonderful breed. Even though you were twice her size, you were her shadow. Now your with my son David but both of you took such a large piece of me when you left. I miss you more than you will ever know.

A Thank You to Maisey

Things happen for a reason,
Although the first year of your life was unforgiving,
We rescued you and made your life worth living.

You showed us that love perseveres through all your fear,
By allowing us to restore life’s cares.
With the love and trust you gave to us,
We feel like we could never love you enough.

Your wants and needs were so simple and true
We will never forget the nudges from you.
The time you gave to us made us believe
That the memory you left with us will never leave.

I am thinking you are in a better place,
Although the emptiness you have left in our hearts can never be replaced.

We thank you for the last few years, with the hope the angel’s wings
On which you fly,
Will cradle you in peace and warmth from up on high.

The Balzano Family

You always welcomed every Dogue in with a wagging tail and a big smile, even when they bit you. You always let them in your bed, even when they pushed you out of it. You gave them all your toys and even showed some how to play with them. You showed them how to run and play and what it was to just be a dog. You showed them they didn’t have to be afraid. When they were all better and ready, you sent them off to their new homes to make room for another to come, one that needed it’s spirit fixed. You were a wise, gentle soul and you will always be remembered. I miss you big guy.

To Our Wrinkle Monster Jerry
1994-2001

Jerry our boy, today we are sad old boy you have gone and we miss you so much! You were our sweet rescue boy who came into our life and touched us forever with your wrinkles and love. Oh how we long to hold you again to hug you and kiss you and rub your big Bordeaux lips. Our red wrinkle monster, how we wish we could have helped the growing pain that finally became too much. The sadness that day as we drove to the vet, they loved you too dear boy, and helped you to go. Now you have left your red wrinkled paw print deep in our hearts, you’re always within us in memories and thoughts. We’re left to love you and remember with each passing day the joy you have brought us our dear sweet red boy.

Girly,
You made us happy
You made us proud
You made us love
You made us laugh
Your absence makes us cry

For one dog to have touched so many lives - words can not express our deep sadness in losing you.

You are forever in our hearts.
