In Memoriam


Cherry

FC Apu Bella di Cerignola MC GRC ORC, Cherry Woo. The Wee. Cherish. Cherrible.
13 Dec 2000 - 3 Mar 2016

Cherry crossed the Finish Line last night, peacefully, after taking a turn for the worse in the evening.
I will miss her sweet presence, but I celebrate the happy little life she had.

"If I could save time in a bottle...." Karen Christensen

Janice Wolfe Oh I remember lure coursing with her.

What a wonderfully long and rich life she led. It's incredible what great care you have taken of her through these years and how many lives she touched. I often think of you and your dogs and especially when we had to do Basenji bowling to get a dog past the starting point. Thank you for letting me be a part of you and your dogs lives for a long time. Cherry was one fantastic dog. I'm sure there will be many of her friends there to meet her as she is crossing the finish line. I know my Angel and Willow loved her. Prayers for your mind to be strong. Love for your heart to heal.



Sanderbelly

FC Apu Sand Thru the Hourglass RA MC THD GRC ORC JOR CGC TDIA VBX. 13 dec 00 - 21 march 16.

Yesterday evening my Sandy yawned as the drug took her to her sleep.
Karen Christensen always said Sanderbelly was "smooth".
Ben Brodeur said, "If you wanted one to catch the rabbit, it'd be her."
"Sandy", said with a Brooklyn accent, got me our first green ribbon ever, running for her JC so long ago.

I was surprised at the depth of feeling by all at my vet's office, all choked up over Sandy.

She joins her beloved bro, Occhi Pa Dokie and sis Cherry Woo at the Bridge, and sister Tangie, all recently passed. Susan K-M

Good bye to my lovelies. Occhi and Sandy

Tangie

Apu Tangerine Dream 12/13/2000 - 3/12/2016

I just wanted to let you know that early Saturday morning I sent Tangie on her way to get her angels wings.  We think she had a stroke and I knew it was time to let her go.  

She was my "Roo-Roo" for the past 15 1/2 years and I will treasure every single day I had with her.  

My heart is broken, but I know she is in a better place now. Kendra Burgher-Lada


Miranda

Rest In Peace, Pandamonium. Dec. 18, 2003 - Apr 22, 2016.
Ch Arendahl's Carnival Night JC RE OA OAJ NF NW1,
plus multiple CPE agility titles, and BCOA Versatile Basenji Excellent.

Miranda seizured at 3:30 am this morning and sustained severe neurological damage. I took her to the emergency vet's office that thankfully is only 5 minutes from my house. She was unable to do anything except raise her head.
After an assessment, the veterinarian on duty and I spoke about her prognosis which was very poor. We made the decision to let her go. They gave her a small dose of a sedative to help her relax so we could spend some quiet time together before she left us.

To say we had great times together is such an understatement. She was such an amazing little girlie.
I will miss her forever. Lisa Marshall


Roo


Apu Fularoo
26 Mar 2003 ~ 2015

Roo passed away from sinus cancer. It was beyond painful especially since he was such an amazing guy and he and I were soul mates. We took gentle gentle care of him and did everything humane possible in extending his life in a good way. His nephew Aqua had some serious mourning as well but it back to his happy goofy way. Beth Povinelli


Zinnia

Today (March 30th) we let Zinnia go into the great blue sky. Even with heroics, the vet thought we only had another week or two, maybe a month and we would have ended up back in the place of pain and no comfort. Heroics gave us today and yesterday with much pizza and soup and happiness for S.
She has been tough, strong, hilarious, sharp, intelligent. An incredible mother, an incredible showdog, my friend.
We put a piece of pizza in her little grave in the flower bed. Gloria Steiger


Jeeter

"I had to say goodbye to Jeter today.

I will miss you so much... you were a good dog." Sharon Buehler
