loving Memory of Sarah
June 2002 - June 8th 2007
I was honored to be asked to adopt one of the Georgia bassets and was
delighted that she settled in so well with my other basset Florence and
my cat Noddy. Sadly she was taken from us after a year but it was a very
fun and active year, she attended a few basset picnics some of you may
recognize her as one of the hula girls from the Hermon picnic. She
enjoyed camping, walking in woods and chasing squirrels. She also found
time to nap and eat treats.
Thank you to everyone who e-mailed suggestions and support during the
difficult time as we tried to work out why she was so sick.

loving memory of Daisy Mae
May 20, 1996 - May15, 2007
I had to take my sweet 'Daisy Mae' to the bridge, May 15, 2007, after a long
battle with oral cancer. I don't think this ever gets any easier, cause this
was one of the saddest days of my life!
I adopted Daisy from BROWNY at age 3. She was a very sweet girl with an
attitude. Her bark would scare passers-by, but she wouldn't hurt a flea. She
would fight over food with her late sister 'Mona' ,even though Mona was
twice her size! Daisy and her brother 'Oreo' would chase each other around
the house and get pretty rough, so funny to watch! We called her
'alligator', cause she would lay with her mouth open and when you touched
her snout ,she would snap. She loved sitting at the end of the couch with
her feet on top looking out the window, for someone to bark at, and then
fall asleep. She also loved laying in the sun.
Daisy would steal any food possible, and whenever there was a loaf of bread
missing, I would find it under the bed, half eaten! Too funny! You wouldn't
think a dog with such short legs could climb like she did. She loved getting
on the kitchen table and watching me cook. I couldn't sit and watch TV
without my 48 lb. lap dog sitting on me. She sure was a sweetie!
We all miss her Very Very much, but know she's having a blast up there with
her sister 'Mona Bear' and all the other 'doggie angels'.
Hugs and Kisses..Sweet 'Daisy Mae'

Loving Memory of Squeaker
January 3, 1993 – March 20, 2007
God blessed me with an angel in January of 1993. I did not realize at the
time the impact that little 6lb white ball of fur would have on my life, but
as she grew up I became a better person. She took care of me
unconditionally. Though Bassets do not appreciate change as much as other
breeds do, Squeaker gladly moved with me seven times, each time just being
happy to be with me. She was more worried that I was happy, than that she
was unfamiliar with her new surroundings. She loved people, all people!!! I
had no human children, but I had my Squeaker. You could see her sad face
whenever I gave attention to my nieces and nephews, but she patiently waited
for her turn never getting angry. After I had an automobile accident
Squeaker and I went to live with my parents, she sensed each one of our
personalities and physical limitations. She would be gentle with each one of
us in a different way. She realized she could not pull me on the leash
anymore, she learned to not move when my mother was walking around the
kitchen as to not trip her up, she walked gently down the ramp we built her
on the back porch steps so as to not unsteady her self or her grandfather,
but with Tommy she could be the strong dog she was. Everyone that met her
loved her!
March 10, 2007 Squeaker started not feeling well. Her body had finally
succumbed to cancer. We tried to fight it with medicine, but as she lay on
her pillow the last week she was telling me that her fight was over. Her
body could not go on. She was a wonderful companion for over 14 years and it
was time to let her look after me from above. An hour before we went to the
Vets I was on the floor hugging her and weeping. She actually lifted her
tired head and still in the final hours was concerned for me….she licked my
face as to say, “It’s ok Momma, I am ready to go.” It was the saddest day of
my life.
Squeaker will be in my heart and my soul for the rest of my life. I still
talk to her today and I know that she hears me. I look forward to the day we
can walk over the Rainbow Bridge together. I hope everyone can experience
the relationship that I have had with Squeaker it was truly a gift from God.
Her Loving Momma and Tommy, Gramma and Papa

Loving Memory of Alex, February 2, 2007We recently
lost our Alex. He was a loving and snugly clown of a guy. He was only with
us for 6 months, but after just a few days we could barely remember a time
when he wasn't part of the family. We thought we would be choosing a dog,
but right from the beginning he chose us. He and our 6 year old Basset
Callie became fast friends and often played and rested together. The vet
estimated Alex to be 7 years old, all too young to leave us.
We are very glad for the time we had with our guy and only wish it could
have been longer. We will always remember his goofy smile, the way he could
sniff out chocolate from 3 rooms away and how he used to wiggle across the
living room floor on his back in order to entice anyone near into giving him
a belly rub. We miss him terribly and will never forget how he touched our
lives.
~Dawn, Greg, and Callie McPherson |
