In Memoriam...

 "We who surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own,  live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Yet we would live no other way, and we cherish memory as the only certain immortality."

Irving Townsend  (1920-1981)

"We can judge the heart of a person by their treatment of Animals"

Immanuel Kant (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804)

We are sad to report that Miss Hillary's show has closed; 

the marquee is dark, the sets struck, 

and the final Curtain Call been taken. 

Miss Hillary has retired to the Bridge.

 Merlin

(Int'l CH MyTyme's Abracadabra CD JH VC CGC)

(March 8, 1992 - December 18, 2004) 

Weaving a web of magic all his own, this boy managed to combine the mischievous nature of the leprechaun with the royal attitude that is expected of this breed. He charmed us with his wiles and loving nature, all the while having his way with us in everything his heart desired. We would not have had it any other way...

 Morgan

(MyTyme's Buccaneer JH CGC)

(4/23/93- 6/5/2006)

Morgan was always the personal favorite of visitors and friends, charming them with his spirit and playfulness.  He loved to 'sing' that special "woo-woo" that is characteristic of Irish, and exuded a happy, joyful personality.  He was rarely seen standing still, or without something to carry around, as there were always places to go and games to play.

Morgan enjoyed hunting and was always ready and willing to play and to run!  People asked to guess his age were always several years off the mark, because he was always  a 'puppy' in attitude and enjoyment of life...

 Musette

(MyTyme's Amusing Antics, CD JH VC CGC)

(3/8/92- 11/18/2006) 

Musette offered a life of fun and exuberance that was sometimes tiring just to observe!  She combined this however, with exemplary manners, and was easy to live with and enjoy to the fullest. 

 Casey

Ch. Vermilions Tuxedo Junction

(11 March 1995 – 17 February 2007)

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, 
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, 
And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout; 
But there is no joy in Magnolia! Mighty Casey has struck out. 
(with apologies to Ernest Lawrence Thayer)

This morning we had to help our most beautiful Ms. Amber to the Bridge.
I know she was excited to see her Sister Cassi, Brother Casey, Momma Emily,
baby son Finn, Brandy, and other Brother Ace the Greyhound.

Amber was our first everything. Champion of our hearts as well as the show ring.
But her first love (besides me) was hunting. Amber loved to hunt and was beautiful
to watch in the field in her younger days. Now her kids, & grandkids carry the
torch for the field.

The Grandma girl is gone now to hunt endlessly in the beautiful fields on the other side of the bridge.
Wait for us sweet beautiful Ms. Bam Bam.
We will miss you terribly.
There is another hole in our hearts that can never be filled.
Wait for us and we will once again hunt together in those beautiful
green fields at the Bridge.
There will be a wonderfully grand reunion one day soon.
Kiss my Sweet Cassi and Ace for us.

We love you beautiful girl, and will miss you…until we meet again…

Thank you Bruce and Mary Foote for letting us have this wonderful girl.

On January 20, 2010 the angels called you home to take away your pain forever.  Bless you sweet boy for bringing so much joy and love into our lives.  You will always be in our hearts, until you are once again by our side. 

On February 16, 2010, you left our arms to go be with the angels, your brother Redford, and all our loves that departed before you.  You stayed as long as you could sweet girl and for that we are sooooo very grateful.  Run free now and know that you are always with us, just as we are always with you.
