Dots

November 21, 1994 - April 15, 2010

*

*

If you could have only ONE dog to fulfill and surpass all of life's needs,

 it would be Dots. 

She knew everything, even before it happened.

 

*

Dots was ready and willing for anything, and took care of everything. 

An unwavering love of life, 

her incredible humour and zest to entertain paralleled her authority and intensity of all jobs that came her way.

*

*

Dots agreed with 'opinion' to attain her Conformation Championship with me.

 

She achieved the highest of Agility Titles with a passion, with Renee.

*

Renee and Dots

 

Dots is our foundation and core of Renee and my united families.

Dots only had a few pups in her lifetime. 

Her daughter Ally and son Gunner are her foundation to all that has followed and continues.

Ally and Gunner were from Dots' first litter, by frozen semen: Beau.

It is so very sweet that Dots' great grandchildren, also sired by Beau,

 are here to celebrate the incredible full, healthy, long life of a truly exceptional friend,

...A tragedy that could not have been prevented;

 one that has no reason other than it must have been her destiny

and how we so very wish, it hadnt been so...

P

h

To look into her eyes,

 was to step into her soul as she softly stepped into yours. 

Her eyes, her soul, a place of true gentleness and warmth, peace and comfort.

 The sweetness and love she gave was the life we shared with her,

 and the ever present reminder of how each ones life could and should, ideally be.

*

 

Our hearts are with you Sweet Nomi...

so many hearts that were merged with yours ache deeply in your absence.

Sweet dreams Nomi.

Sleep well, sweet Missy

Missy expended a year of life into each single day of her life. 

Such a vibrant- giving- loving- happy-doing girl: all Heart! all Smiles! and always demanding the moment! Beyond her astonishing, captivating beauty and ideal compact agile form, 

Missy had inexhaustible talent; fully evident, from the "get-go".

Missy was a spectacular show pup, starting out with Best in CKC Match, Best Puppy in CKC Match,  followed by Best Puppy in Specialty Show.

 

It was through Missy's union with my sister Renee, (AllAboutDogs) that Missy was given the opportunity to pursue and maximise all that she was-and her potential to 'do it all' and more.

*

Some of Missy's earliest agility titles were ADC/ AADC/ NAD/ AGN/ AGI/ MAD - 

Missy was still trialing agility at 11years of age and people meeting her then for the first time, thought she was only a 5 or 6 year old dog! physically she was still amazing and unchanged, but at 11, her hearing seemed to begin to diminish at that time. We joked that as Missy always had selective hearing, perhaps she was just being a little MORE selective:)!

Missy would have finished her Conformation Championship in all three registries if we had pursued. But Missy was here to DO many things...agility and more...so after one litter of two pups, we spayed her so she could go forward 100% with 'doing' and without hormonal distraction.

That one litter. sired by our incredible Gunner, Robins Center Fire,

resulted in two perfect pups, Gracie and Mya.

"Missy" lived a full, happy and healthy life without compromise. 

She filled so many others' lives with life! inspiration, joy and laughter.

Last weekend told us she had simply grown tired now and she had decided she was ready to sleep.

Missy left us gracefully, in her own time, on her own terms

though with the love of her family with her. 

Sleep well, sweet Missy.
