Grieve not nor speak of me with tears
but laugh and talk of me
as if i were beside you
'twas heaven here with you

Our wee girl from the Slovak republic weighed only 5 kg at 8 weeks old, but was a feist little girl.
She grew up to be a large girl with the sweetest temperament ever. Loved  to be  hugged and would stand in front of you shaking her head asking for a cuddle.
Sadly she had severe dysplasia and was on painkillers the last couple of months of her life. It became acute after a wrong movement and we had no other choice than to  set her free from the excruciating pain. She went to sleep forever on her favourite couch.
Grân'Duce des Fosses Diaboliques "Caleb"  17/7/2000-17/2/2011

 
Our Caleb always happy and gentle natured, was a wonderful father for his pups and later for those of others . He loved getting attention himself and earned the name leanonberger Maar listened very well too to our enough is enough.  He would never pinch any food except French cheese, his all time favourite treat. He really started getting old these last months and after surviving 2 stomach torsions last year we were relieved that he left us peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by "his" girls who were sleeping next to him.
Adora Domus Corona "Doortje" 10/9/2004 - 20/8/2011
 Our sweet, clever, brave & proud Doortje died at the age of almost 7 years  peacefully in my arms.  We knew for some weeks that this day would come soon because she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her left front leg . We noticed that even the large dosis of pain medication wasn’t enough anymore and we made that oh so hard decision to let her go in peace. Doortje was LPN1 effected and symptoms of paralysis started showing when she was 1 year old. She was such a clever girl and adapted very well to her handicaps, one of them being a paralysed tongue so a tie back was not possible. She enjoyed, life the way it was for her, regardless its limitations. Doortje saw it as her duty to keep the eyes and ears of the other dogs clean ,but her happiest moments were when there were puppies around. It is extra sour that not the Polyneuropathy was fatal, but Osteosarcoma . We will miss our special girl forever.
