Meditation Garden (Memorial)

Dark and elegant Molly wears her luxurious black coat as if it was mink. A quiet and affectionate 7 year old, she prefers the company of people to other dogs, and loves nothing more than being the centre of attention. She especially enjoys long, gentle belly rubs and, weather permitting, lying contentedly in the sun. A solitary beauty, she loves her walks, but she does not play. Sadly, our Molly has multiple myeloma, or bone marrow cancer. And although she is currently in remission, we have learned to accept each day as a gift, and take it, one precious day at a time.We have had Molly for two years now and already the grey around her eyes is getting so prominent that you would swear she was wearing glasses. Now two years is not very old but Molly has come to join our family as a senior citizen by way of Sheba’s Haven Rescue and best estimate from the vet puts her age at 11 or 12 years. Although she is a senior each day has been full of new and exciting experiences for both her and us, since we don’t know what has transpired in her past we can only make some educated guesses. Molly loves to go in the boat and is crazy about the water but she doesn’t know to wait until we dock before attempting to go ashore and without fail she jumps and lands between boat and dock.

Only a chihuahua could be this compact, this cuddly and this cute. And Pepe is no exception to the rule. With his large chi ears and huge, dark eyes, Pepe, at age 14, still has the impish face of a puppy. Currently being fostered after having spent most of his life in a single, loving home, his once-perky personality has been reasserting itself day by day. Now when he wants something, whether food or attention, he knows how to get it. A few insistent yips or yaps usually does the trick. When looking for comfort, Pepe covers himself up with the fuzzy blankets he loves. But when looking for adventure, he streaks across the yard chasing rabbits.

Danny was with us for 8yrs and we believe he was about 14 years old. Danny came to us from Lindsey Humane Society where he was surrendered. At that time we thought he was just visually impaired but when we got him home he could not stop drinking and urinating. After many tests he was diagnosed with a rare disease called Diabetes Insipidus (not to be confused with Diabetes Mellitus). Danny had no concerns when maneuvering himself around the house or other dogs. The way he ‘saw’ it, if they were in his way, he would walk over them – getting him into trouble at times. Danny was a lover, not a fighter. He will be greatly missed.
