In Memoriam- our horses, dogs died ,lost, illness, injury


	"Caramel" Born: November 25, 1993 Died: June 27, 2006 Caramel was a pistol! First she'd go out. Then she'd come in. Then she'd go out. Then she'd...well, you get the picture! Caramel was very healthy, right up to March, 2006. Diagnosed with heart disease, she progressed down hill very rapidly and finally succumbed at 12 years-7 months. She was a fighter-She gave it her best shot but it wasn't quite good enough. "Caramel- Who's letting you in and out of the door now?"

"Zeus" One of our Rescue Pyrs Born: December, 2003 Died: June 7, 2006 Zeus, an owner turn-in, was an absolute love! He never quite got over the 'puppy stage'. His favorite things, in no particular order were: Playing, Eating, his Green Rubber Chewy Bone and Being Brushed/Petted! In January, 2006, Zeus had his first of many cluster seizures. Even with top vet care and my learning all I could to help control these seizures, it wasn't enough. Finally, after 6 months of Zeus losing his quality of life, it was time to say "Good Bye". A Special Boy! A Special Boy!

	"Emma" Born: May 11, 1996 Died: October 11, 2005 Emma, always the chunky one, developed diabetes at age 9 1/2. Complications developed-organs were affected and after a valiant effort on Emma's part, at age 10 1/2, we finally lost her. Always the snuggler, Emma could tell when you didn't feel good...She would lay beside you trying to keep you warm. My favorite saying was "If you don't feel good, put an "Emma" on it! She is missed!

"Kate" Born: March 26, 1992 Died: September 9, 2003 Kate, at 11-1/2 years of age, in the Fall of 2003, was sent to the Rainbow Bridge. At the very end, she had become totally deaf, blind and very unpredictable in temperament. The first 11 were good years!

On March 11, 2002, Jester LadyBug's first foal was born dead, 3 1/2 weeks past the due date. It was a beautiful and very large palomino filly, with Southern Jazz & Mack K's Yankee breeding. It was a tragic loss for LadyBug and for us, but we learned a valuable lesson. We now use Foal Monitors!

	"Reba" Born: Mar.23,2001 Died: ????? Our beloved Great Pyrenees, one of 2 Pyrenees we used as Livestock Guardian/Companion Dogs, disappeared from our ranch in the early morning hours of December 9, 2002. We believe she was stolen. This terrible/retouched photo is the only picture I have of her as an adult dog. *She will be in our hearts forever!*

*Brandy's Deputy Sheriff* Registered Missouri Fox Trotter Gelding Sire: Baron's Brandy Sour Dam: Abby's Rose of Sharon Foaled: 09/16/93 Died: 12/25/00 "Jake", as we called him, suffered an extremely severe stifle injury and lost the use of his right back leg. Despite his and our best efforts, he finally had to be euthanized on Christmas Day. A Good Guy, A Good Ride & Not Forgotten.......
