Gone, but not Forgotten

	Sandy Bluffs Chris "Pancho" 6/3/1992-11/17/2007 Pancho was our start in Labrador Retreivers We didn't know much but he pereservered and taught us a lot. His smiling face on weekend mornings greeted us with a "Lets go to the park" look; He never begged, at least not until he got older. He was always eager when he saw the hunting gear get packed. His passion was pheasants and he sometimes, really most of the time, let us get close enough to shoot. However, if we missed he would just grab the next one himself. Whether hunting or on the sofa he always had a look of contentment and always gave us his unconditional love, no matter how many rescue dogs or puppies came into the house. Until we meet at the Rainbow bridge. .
	"Casey" June 17, 2001 We got Casey in January of 1996, she was about 8 years old. Right between the two biggest snowstorms of the year ( about 3 ft total). She came from a family who had her outside even though she had a broken (and not healed correctly Pelvis) as well as severe spinal arthritis. As we couldn't move out of the house for a few days all she did was lay in front of the fireplace. As she started to "thaw" out her personality came to life. We thought a nice dog like this would be an easy adoption, so we started taking her to adopt-a-days. While she never acted up around the house the adopt a days were different stories. She was like a woman possessed. I guess she was telling us that she found her new home and there was no reason for her to be there. She was a remarkable girl, who at the age of 14 succummed to cancer in the abdomen.

picture coming soon	"Chester" 8/26/2002 Chester was 11 years old when he came into rescue . He came from a wonderful home but his Dad had to travel for work and there was no one home to care of him. He had some neurological problems and his back legs would cross when he stood up and some days it was hard just to stand up but he always managed. He did get adopted once, on Christmas eve but alas he had to come back a couple of days later as he just couldn't cope with the wood floors. After that we just decided he would live out his life with us and he lived to be the ripe old age of 16.
	Allegheny's Pepsi "Pepsi" 4/15/2002-1/24/2006 Pepsi was too small to show but was a giant in many other ways. She was taken from us way too early but will always live in our hearts as the sweet young girl with a mischevious look in her eyes.
