GOODBYE SWEET ROCKY

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DOG IN THE WORLD

It is a sad day - Rocky left last night to join Dempsey, Spencer and Prissy at the Bridge - we took him to the vet for the second time this week when his legs just wouldn't hold him up - he had torn both ACL's just from being old and weak - we just couldn't let him suffer. Pat said it best - Rocky spent the first year of his life tied to a car - we can't let his last year be anything but good.

ROCKY AND ECHO CUDDLING!

THIS IS ROCKY TEACHING ECHO AND DOOLEY HOW TO WATCH

FOR PEOPLE DARING TO WALK BY HIS HOUSE - NOW IF ECHO

COULD JUST LEARN TO BARK . . .

Rocky was not only loved by us but all of the family too - here he is with some of his favorite grandkidhumans - how he loved the little ones - puppies and kids!

We will always miss you Rocky - it will never be the same without you.

ECHO'S NEW CHAMPION PHOTO

Ch. Echo Bay's Merger of Maximus

We've only been waiting 3-1/2 years for this photo - we are very proud of you little Echo - your grandma and mom are watching from the bridge and cheering! You are the third generation champion for us and the second home bred champion. We can't wait for our next show dog when you warm the whelping box this winter and hopefully give us a cute little boy to play with Dooley and hopefully become Champion #5 !

Dooley's 5 point major

Well, the show photographer got half the picture fine - but the judge looked like she just swallowed a lemon so I cropped her out of this cute picture of Mr. Doodle man. For those of you who don't know dog show talk, winning this meant he beat 4 Bostons who are already champions and one of them is in the top twenty Bostons in the United States! For him to accomplish this win was amazing and fun but you can see that for yourself in my happy mug! This win came right in behind Echo finishing her championship so I was flying high on adrenalin! Enjoy - I love my little Doodle Bug and his big sister Ch. Echo Bay's Merger of Maximus!!!
