Pointe aux Pins AfternoonDLite "Hayley"
01/1995 - 08/2003
Hayley...She was very shy. Hayley was a mama's girl. Never a bad word towards a person, but she always hid her head in hopes no one would see her. Even though most of the time she was right behind my legs. She went everywhere with me....in the van and walks in the woods. She was my guardian angel, she would know if someone was near before I would. My husband asks me what I want for Christmas this year.....I just want my Hayley back beside me!
Love ya, Hayley...

Xtacia of Lionhill "Lexi"
7/20/2003 - 5/18/2004
Lexi was a puppy whose destiny was to be loved by an exceptional individual during her short life. How extraordinary in a world that seeks perfection and the "finest" to find a person who can look beyond the physical and feel a reverence for the life burning in a puppy with a profound disability. I will always love my beautiful, sweet baby Lexi..

Rossnick Rock on Tommy "Tony"
6/09/1997 - 6/01/2004
He was my best friend in the whole world and I could always trust him with anything. He never got mad at me and he never disagreed with my decisions. He was always there for me. Being my first dog, he was extra special to me and my family. He was everybody's favorite because he had beautiful brown eyes and a very soft, fluffy coat. As a puppy, he was capable of making anybody laugh at him and give him a great big hug as he would do the same. As he got older, he seemed to get wiser and his intelligence was unspeakable. He has to be the smartest dog I will ever know! He was my most loyal companion and I thank God for giving me such a great friend. I can not wait to see him again in heaven!

Forever Green's Kane "Kane"
5/31/2003 - 6/14/2004
Kane was one of those dogs that could find a way into the hearts of everyone he met. He was so sweet, cuddly, goofy, clever and playful! We will miss the way he used to sit at the gate (jolly ball in mouth) waiting for Ken to come home and play or the times he just came to you and wanted to snuggle up with you. We will never know why he was with us for such a short time, but he brought us great joy in that time and he will be in our hearts forever! Ember & Ken Sebastian


Dusty der hund Leo von Shambis "Dusty"
10/27/1997 - 11/20/2004
I got Dusty through Leo Rescue. Though she was only in my life for 18 months, her passing has left a huge hole. She would come bounding out to greet me when I got home. When she was excited she had a great lolloping gait that could be alarming as she weighed 130 pounds. And until the end she would walk with me every day, testing how firm a grip I had on the leash, sniffing the air, tasting the weeds, and checking out passing dogs. I miss my dog. Ann Wright Graham



Anastacia von Sentez "Annie"
8/28/1995 - 12/10/2003
One could not have asked for a better introduction to Leos than my Annie. She was gentle with all she met, sweet and loving. Even at the end, when she was in pain, she never even growled at anyone. I miss her still but know I will see her again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Dragonslair's Albear "Albear"
4/27/96 - 9/6/07

My big brave hero is gone. We let him go this morning. Albear survived 11 years and 5 months and had hypothyroid, a tieback since age 3 and he lived a long and happy life in spite of all that.
The best thing that ever happend to me was Albear. He was my first dog and my husband Steve's first as grownups. We had him in our wedding ....he traveled to Canada many times as we explored the maritimes and Quebec. He hiked and skied and played with us and was my soul dog. There is a being and you look into to their eyes and you meld together. I am lucky i had that ......He taught me how to really love to the depths of the human soul. As pure a love as one can ever know. He fought so many battles and always came back from the brink of the of darkness to us, he beat all the odds. Best of all? He made me a good human being and gave me the knowledge of how deeply i can care and love another being. Albear has shown all of us that Inehierted polynueropathy need not be a death sentence. My friend and breeder Judy you have never stopped helping me for 12 years. I could call you any time and get advice. I am so glad you gave me Albear. for the sadness and grief I have now, I know the scales are tipped to the other side. the wonderful life he and I and my family have all had for the last 11plus years. Lizzy, Steve and Ellie
