'TANNER' "Kiss the Girls" TENPAS-MORSE'
March 10, 1997 - March 21, 2008
We want you to know that you have touched this big man's heart somehow,
and for that we are thankful. He was a shy and timid one, took time to
trust, and required much patience to build that trust. But when he did,
watch out... there was no letting go. Once he made friends with you (even
if you had to start over every time you crossed paths), and you reached
out a hand to pet, you had better be prepared to never stop! With that
smile on his face, and the vigorous rub of his head on your thigh saying "please," how
could you resist? Anyway, here is our tribute to the guy... we loved him
and gave him the best home we knew how. His horse-like gallants and divot
digging eagerness to win made him the kind of guy everyone would want to
have around. He was precious and loving and will be missed tremendously.
Tanner says thanks for being quiet and still while he built up trust enough
to come receive your love.
We toast one up to the kids waiting at the rainbow bridge!! We Love you
all and can't wait to see you again! Julie & Chris
'DARCI' February 9, 2008
Darci, formerly known at Stinky, was a recent rescue from the Anderson
Animal Shelter . She was a Bullmastiff left at the shelter with very
little going for her. She was a very large breed and was a little on
the skinny side when we first noticed her and who could not notice this
83 pound dog and not fall in love with those big brown eyes and floppy
jaws!! She was pulled from the shelter on January 14, 2008 by 2 volunteers
from Countryside Animal Rescue. She was immediately taken to the vet
for an exam and vaccinations and planned on being transported the following
weekend to another rescue. Once we received the news that she was heartworm
positive and pregnant the whole rescue transport was off and we needed
to regroup for her sake. We decided to let Darci try to deliver on her
own as we thought she was too far into the pregnancy for a spay and she
was only carrying one puppy. The temporary foster parent continued to
foster Darci as they developed a very special bond. After days going
by and Darci's foster mom afraid to leave the house for fear she would
start whelping without her home, finally it came. On Thursday evening
she started to show some signs that things were getting close and then
it all stopped. On Friday morning she was taken in for an emergency C-section.
We thought things were going to be okay even though the puppy had been
dead for 2-4 days we were told, but the puppy had a heartbeat 6 days
prior. At 11:00 a.m. Saturday morning she started slipping away. The
foster parent was called to come see her and then shortly afterwards
we made the call to let her go without anymore suffering. This dog had
been subjected to so many mistakes from irresponsible humans and this
time "she" would not suffer anymore. This poor dog was failed
by humans time after time and she will never be in the wrong hands again!
From the research we were able to do from her microchip it all started
when she was sold to a breeder in Ohio back 6-8 years ago. Ten re-sold
again to another breeder in Peru, Indiana. After that, there was no more
trail of her life and we have no idea how she ended up in Anderson, Indiana
in the shape she did. We all know things happen for a reason and Darci
was brought here to us for a very special reason. It is just so very
hard to see through the tears at this point why, and we that knew her
were blessed and she still gave us the opportunity to know her and to
love her!
Darci you will be so dearly missed and we wish this journey could have ended in a different way. Bye for now, until we meet again at the gate at Rainbow Bridge. http://rainbowsbridge.com/Poem.htm
