In Memory of
Champ Miller
3/13/09
This afternoon Champ took one final motorcycle ride. Our beloved Champ’s spirit was freed from the body that was failing him. He was our son and gave us much love. His sometimes goofy antics made us laugh. His snoring allowed us to “blame the dog”. He had many adventures and loved going fishing and for motorcycle rides in his Canine Chariot, which will forever be Champ’s Lab Cab. He graciously embraced me and accepted the Mals in to his life. He became my loyal companion. He adored his Golden sister and shared retriever secrets with her..  He brought play to our pack and joy to our hearts. It will take a while before we no longer step gingerly when entering a darkened room so as to not trip on the black dog. It will take much longer to not feel the hole in our hearts.  We are very sad for us, but relieved that our boy is no longer in distress.  These moments are the high price we pay for being given the honor of sharing our lives with them. Despite that cost, what we get in return is priceless.

Hershey, our chocolate lab, passed away last night (9/6/08) from complications of heartworm disease. He was at the vet's office getting the best care they could give him when he passed.
He was only about a year and half old and the sweetest boy ever.
So much tragedy in such a short life....

HERSHEY
Hershey was a wonderful, calm, affectionate Chocolate Lab who was waiting to find his forever home.  This handsome boy was about a year old and very handsome.  Hershey came to the local shelter as a lost dog and we were surprised when no one came for him.  Hershey loved everyone he met.  Sadly, Hershey won't be able to know the joy of having a forever home as he passed away (9/6/08) from complications of heartworm disease.  Please, be sure and protect your dogs from this terrible disease.

ELEANOR

08-09-2007
Eleanor was diagnosed with a severe bone infection in her spine soon after being placed in her
forever home in Panama City.  'Ellie' left a lasting memory on all of us that met with her -- she was
an incredibly sweet little girl that touched our hearts.

Callie's Story

With great joy, several years ago, we adopted Callie from Emerald
 Coast.  Callie was the poster girl on your note cards for a few years.
 Her story before rescue was horrific and too common: backyard
 breeder's dog, over bred, under loved, no health care, disposed of
when she became frail.  When she came to us, at the very ripe age of
 11 or so (we all guessed), she had few front teeth, very little hair
 and was under weight - and that was AFTER EGGRR volunteers had been
 taking care of her.  I don't want to know how she looked when she
 first came to you.

We promised her a loving, quiet home, with all of the treats, care and
 attention she wanted.  She asked for very little - well, except when I
was cooking or if she could smell McDonald's French fries.  She would
 herd me into the corner at the sink and hold me hostage for a nibble
 of whatever was for supper.
 I contact ECGRR with a somewhat heavy heart today. At the age of about
 14+ (again, guessing), Callie will head to the bridge tonight. She's
 been trying to tell me for some time now, "Kid, it's my time. Let me
 go."  We've enjoyed every moment with her. She has been our "little
 mama dog." We will miss her soft way, her smacky chops sounds
 (toothless dogs do this, y'know), her absolute blondeness (she was an
 English Cream in a house of reds), and her sense of humor.

BLONDIE TEER

Apr 9, 2001 to Sep 29, 2006

We were deeply saddened to lose our wonderful Blondie girl.  Despite being overwhelmed by many medical issues for several years, she was a fighter and resilient to the end.  Blondie taught us a great deal about patience and acceptance of what we cannot control.  We will greatly miss our little girl.

                 Loved water

                 Oh yeah, tennis balls, rabbits & squirrels too

                 Never complained

                 Dining on duck & potato
