It is with tremendous sadness that we said "Farewell" to Otter this morning.
Otter was with me
from the very first day I was on my own. He was my
guardian; with him I always felt safe. As my first
Labrador, we ventured into the world of showing, field and
obedience. With him I am where I am today; without him I
would not have the confidence I have gained through him, nor the
friendships of the people we have met along our path together.
Otter will always be the most special to me: a part of me went
with him when he left this earth.
Forgive me
"Return to Me"

Blacksmith's Daughter
Sarrah graced our lives with her endearing ways, and melted our hearts with her loving gaze and her endless devotion. She mothered every puppy as if they were her own and when her own puppies were born she gave them all she had. She succumbed to ideopathic liver failure just six weeks after her puppies were born and left us all with an ache in our hearts and a void in our lives. We treasure her babies - her living legacy - Sierra, Smitty and Blue. "Go now, don't look back, we've drawn
the line Oh Sara why did it, why did it all
fall apart ..."

Tori was my second chance bitch, I had to pass on her the first time and when she was offered to me again years later I was not going to let her get away. Tori never missed a treat when it was offered and earned the nickname "Gator" along the way. Tori found solace here with us, and loved her soft places to sleep and wag her tail in her dreams.

Heritage Briar
Briar slipped quietly from this life and into the next, while I held her in my arms. It was all so sudden but at the end, she was at home with us surrounding her with our love .She took a part of me with her, but left us with treasured memories of never-ending love. We have been blessed to have been a part of her life and to learn from the many lessons she taught us. Love can give you the strength to fight, trust your instincts and enjoy every moment you can. We will miss her uncanny way of making us laugh, her love of tennis balls and water bubbles, swimming with the fish, her love of being a "midwife" when puppies were being born, covering the van windows with "Boo snot", and her never ending kisses that could always bring out a smile. She had many nicknames: Briar Boo, Boo, Booty Boo, Bootwat, BooDoo, PixieBoo, but mostly she was our Booty.
My Booty lies over the ocean I know someday we will be together again. It is so hard to know that I will have to wait a lifetime, but it will be worth it in the end. "Eyes of Mercy"
Hush, Close your eyes
Don't be afraid
When the soft face of mercy
Hide in my arms
When the soft eyes of mercy
I'll be here..... I bought Briar as a pet. As a puppy, she had to spend much of her first days in an incubator. She was so small and at 8 weeks weighed only 1.2 lbs!! Briar has a congenital heart defect known as reversed patent ductus arteriosis. She will continue to have to take bone marrow suppression medication to keep her from producing too many red blood cells, as well as endure phlebotomies to keep her blood levels in a normal range. Despite predictions that she would never live past age 4, she has been my constant companion for nearly 9 years.

Into the Knight
Brenna died in a tragic accident and was taken from us on a wintery night when she got out of the dog yard. She left us too young, with many hopes for the future unfulfilled.

You will always hold a special place in my heart, my first girl. I will treasure the memories of your precision and lightning speed on retrieves, your affection and kind spirit. Cared for and loved for over 12 years by our friend Ellen Donovan: it was Kismet we met. Bantry must have planned it all along...it was destined that you be together.

Heat of the Knight Angus passed away after a courageous battle with lung cancer. He will always be remembered as not only a wonderful friend, but as the most reliable retriever- picking up thousands of birds in his lifetime. He was the constant companion of our dear friend, Paul Young, who brought the best of his skills to light. Angus could retrieve and point with incredible accuracy, leaving the other hunters wishing he were theirs. Sadly missed by all who knew him. Rest well friend. You've left a very hard pair of hunting boots to fill.

All In Good Time
Talin was our funny girl, we were always amused by the silly things she did. She played up the blonde thing well, though truth be told she was a highly intelligent and cunning girl under all that blonde fluff. Tally was Peter's favorite and his constant companion. She traveled with him far and near. Tally earned the nickname "Puff" on the way back from a show in New Jersey when seh and I got stuck in traffic for 2.5 hours on the George Washington bridge. I had an extreme fear of bridges and after a while of being up there, I let Tally out of her crate to sit with me up front .While sitting in the seat with her head in front of the air conditioning she started to puff out her lips in the breeze. I was laughing so hard I wasn't cared anymore!! Tally enjoyed the good thinks in life: laying on the deck in the sun, a fine meal, sticks of butter, wrapper and all, extra desserts and the company of her furry friends--especially her love, Codey. There was never a more kind and gentle soul, a friend to all. Rest well our sweet friend. We will always miss our Tally, aka Puff, Bear de Bear, Commonbear, we know you'll be waiting for us at the Bridge!!
